A member of a South Slavic ethnic group native to the Balkans, primarily inhabiting Serbia. Can also refer to the Serbian language or culture.
From Serbian 'Srbin', possibly from Proto-Slavic '*sьrbъ'. The etymology is debated, with theories connecting it to Latin 'Servi' or to words meaning 'kinsman' or 'ally'.
The Serbs have a unique cultural tradition called 'slava' - each family celebrates their own patron saint's day, creating a personal religious holiday that's passed down through generations and celebrated with elaborate feasts.
