Betlanovce (Hungarian: Betlenfalva) is a village and municipality in the Spišská Nová Ves District in the Košice Region of central-eastern Slovakia.

History

The name "Terra Bethlem", the earth of Bethlem, was mentioned as early as 1260 in a written document. In historical records the village itself was first mentioned in 1311 as "villa Bethlem", meaning a village belonging to Bethlem.
