Pivka
Pivka (, , ) is a small town in Slovenia in the Pivka Basin in the Karst region. It is the seat of the Municipality of Pivka. It belongs to the traditional region of Inner Carniola. Name Pivka was first mentioned in 1300 as ''villa Sancti Petri super Piucha'' ('St. Peter above the Pivka River'), and in 1498 as ''Sannt Peter''. The name of the settlement was changed from ''Šent Peter na Krasu'' (literally, 'Saint Peter in the Karst') to ''Pivka'' in 1952.

This name was first attested in 1300 as ''Piuca'' or ''Piucha'' (and as ''Peucha'' in 1335). The name is derived from the Slovene common noun ''pivka'' 'karst sinkhole'. History Althou ...
