==Name== thumb|Statue of Racho Kovacha thumb|Aerial view of the city According to the most widespread legend, Gabrovo was founded by a blacksmith named Racho, close to whose fireplace a hornbeam rose, so the settlement acquired its name, from the Slavic word gabar ("hornbeam") + the Slavic suffix -ovo.
