People From The Municipality Of Žirovnica
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

Grahovo, Cerknica
Grahovo ( or , german: Grachowo''Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru,'' vol. 6: ''Kranjsko''. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 120.) is a village on the eastern shores of Lake Cerknica in the Municipality of Cerknica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. Name Grahovo was attested in written sources in 1355 and 1499 as ''Grochaw'' (and as ''Grocha'' in 1438 and 1487, and ''Grathaw'' in 1448). The name is probably derived from the personal name ''Grah'', which is still preserved as a surname in Slovenia and is probably borrowed from the Old High German name ''Gracco''. The place name would thus mean 'Grah's (village)'. Another possible derivation is from the common noun ''*grahovišče'' 'pea field' via the contracted form ''*grahovše''. Direct derivation from the Slovene common noun ''grah'' 'pea' is unlikely because of the rarity of such names and the suffixation pattern. The name ''Grahova vas'' is also occasionally found in s ...
