Amar Garibović (Serbian Cyrillic: Амар Гарибовић; born 7 September 1991 in Sjenica, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia – died 7 September 2010 near Sredanci, Croatia) was a Serbian cross-country skier who had competed since 2004.
Several prominent historians from Belgrade and Sarajevo have claimed that the unknown hero is a Bosniak named Sulejman Balić, a soldier from Duga Poljana, a town between Novi Pazar and Sjenica, that fought in the Serbian army against Austria-Hungary.
The name is derived from *sěnьnica 'hay shed' and is related to other Slavic toponyms such as Sjenica, Senice, and Senica.
