Bogojina
Bogojina (; hu, Bagonya, sometimes ''Zalabagonya'') is a village east of Murska Sobota in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia. It lies in the Municipality of Moravske Toplice. Name Bogojina was attested in written records in 1208 as ''Bogma'' (probably an abbreviation of ''Bogojina''), and as ''Bagonya'' in 1322 and ''Bagona'' in 1403. The name is derived from the hypocorism ''Bogoj(e)'', meaning 'property/settlement belonging to Bogoj'. History Three burial mounds north of the village testify to ancient settlement in the area. During work in the 1930s, local people found iron artifacts and Roman coins in the mounds, but these objects have since disappeared.

The settlement was Lutheran during the Reformation, but returned to Catholic control in 1669. School ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
