==Etymology== thumb|200px|The ruins of Abrittus The suffix "grad" means city in Bulgarian, while the origin and the meaning of the first part "raz" is obscure. During the Second Bulgarian Empire, around the present city there was a settlement, mentioned by the names of Hrasgrad, Hrazgrad, and Hrizgrad'. These names come from the name of the Bulgar and Slavic god Hors.
