Lórév means "horse ford" in Hungarian referring to the nearby ford of the Danube.

Demographics

Lórév is the only settlement in Hungary with an ethnic Serb majority. According to the 2001 Census, village had 307 people of which some 180 (58.63%) were Serbs (and 202 people with a Serb "cultural heritage") while 39.09% of the population were Hungarians (120 people). Also, the neighbouring village of Szigetcsép and the town of Ráckeve on the Csepel Island have Serb settlements. Not far to the north the Bunjevci settlement of Tököl is to be found.
