Besnica (stream)
The Besnica is a stream that flows through the Besnica Valley east of Ljubljana. It flows through the scattered settlement of Besnica and empties into the Ljubljanica at Podgrad as its last right tributary just before it joins the Sava River. In the past, this was also the quadruple confluence of the stream with the Sava, Kamnik Bistrica, and Ljubljanica rivers. Name The name ''Besnica'' is originally a hydronym and was later also applied to the settlement of Besnica along the stream. The name is derived from the Slavic adjective ''*běsьnъ'' 'rushing, swift', referring the character of the stream.

Ljubljana
Ljubljana (also known by other historical names) is the capital and largest city of Slovenia. It is the country's cultural, educational, economic, political and administrative center. During antiquity, a Roman city called Emona stood in the area. Ljubljana itself was first mentioned in the first half of the 12th century.

Hydronym
A hydronym (from el, ὕδρω, , "water" and , , "name") is a type of toponym that designates a proper name of a body of water. Hydronyms include the proper names of rivers and streams, lakes and ponds, swamps and marshes, seas and oceans. As a subset of toponymy, a distinctive discipline of ''hydronymy'' (or ''hydronomastics'') studies the proper names of all bodies of water, the origins and meanings of those names, and their development and transmission through history. Classification by water types Within the onomastic classification, main types of hydronyms are (in alphabetical order): * helonyms: proper names of swamps, marshes and bogs, * limnonyms: proper names of lakes and ponds, * oceanonyms: proper names of oceans, * pelagonyms: proper names of seas and maritime bays, * potamonyms: proper names of rivers and streams. Linguistic phenomena Often a given body of water will have several entirely different names given to it by different peoples living along its shor ...
