Vlachovo (, ) is a village and municipality in the Rožňava District in the Košice Region of middle-eastern Slovakia. The name indicates an aboriginal Valachian population, confirmed as both Vlah in Slavonic and Oláh in Hungarian mean Romanian; the origin is confirmed even by the Germanic name, Lambsdorf (Lambs' Village), given the main occupation of the Middle Ages Romanians.
== History == In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1427 as Alahpathaka, but until the end of the 14th century it was also referred to as Lampertfalva. In 1597 it was referred to as Oláhpataka alias Lampertsdorf. Since then it was called Oláhpatak, and rarely Oláh Pataka. Slovaks referred to the commune also as Vlachov or Wlachowo. When it became part of Czechoslovakia, its name became Vlachovo. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Vlachovo was part of Gömör and Kishont County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic.
