History.
In historical records, the village was first mentioned as "Hronecz" in 1357, when it was the dominion of Lypche Solienses. In 1390, it was mentioned as "Horonecz". As Louis I of Hungary already in 1357 gave to the Royal forester's son - called Pál - the right of scultetus, in 1405 it was referred as "Plantatio Pauli". In 1424 "Kysgaran", in 1547 "Ranitz" and in the 19th century usually "Rhonic" was used. After, the official name was until 1886 "Rónicz", when it was changed to "Kisgaram". Eventually, as part of Czehoslovakia, "Hronec" became the official name.
