Bokalce Castle
Bokalce Castle ( sl, Grad Bokalce, german: Strobelhof''Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru,'' vol. 6: ''Kranjsko''. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 107.) is a castle or mansion in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Name The estate was attested in written sources in 1548 as ''Wokhauez'' (and as ''Bokaliz'' in 1580, and ''Wokhalez'' in 1697). The modern Slovene name (a feminine plural) was originally an accusative plural form of the surname ''Bokal''. The origin of the surname is unknown. It could be the result of metathesis of the surname ''Kobal'', derived from Italian ''Cavallo''. It is also possible, but unlikely, that the name is derived from Slovene ''bok'' 'protected place, end of a hill, sharp slope', referring to the edge of Utik Hill. In the past the German name was ''Strobelhof'', based on the name of the family that acquired the castle in the second half of the 17th century.''Krajevni leksikon Dravske Banovine''. 1937. L ...

The name ''Polh'' is, in turn, probably derived from the zoonym ''polh'' 'dormouse'. An alternative theory, considered less likely, derives ''Polh'' from the name ...
