Bajany (; ) is a village and municipality in the Michalovce District in the Košice Region of Slovakia.
Geography
History In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1370. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, it was part of Ung County within the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1939, it was for a short time part of the newly-established Slovak Republic. From 1939 to 1944, it belonged to Hungary as a result of the Slovak–Hungarian War. Historically known in Hungarian as Bajánháza (and recorded as Bayanhaza as early as 1370), this location is entirely distinct from the village of Bókaháza in Zala County, Hungary, which has historically appeared in various phonetic records under the highly similar name Bayanhazov.
