Etymology
The name of the settlement was derived from the personal name Koma, which was a domestic form of the name Komoň or Komolec. The meaning of the place name was Koma's property. The name of East Moravian Komně was also derived from a similar domestic form (probably Komen) of the same names. The connection of the name of the village with the common word Komín (lit. 'chimney') is not possible, because in the 13th century, when the name Komín is first documented (1240 in the form of Komyn), chimneys were not yet known in Moravia.[2]
Territorial divisions
The cadastral territory of Komín is further divided into 9 basic settlement units.
