Location edit
It is located on the left bank of the Rába, 20 kilometers southeast of Szombathely. The neighboring settlements: Meggyeskovácsi from the north, Kám from the east, Alsóújlak from the south, Püspökmolnári and Zsennye from the southwest, Rábatöttös from the west, and Csempeszkopács from the northwest. Its outskirts extend several kilometers from its center to the south, so it even borders Vasvár in that direction.
Origin of its name edit
Its name comes from the German person name Ruhm or the family name Rummy.
