Ig, Slovenia
Ig (; formerly ''Studenec'', german: Brunndorf''Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru,'' vol. 6: ''Kranjsko''. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 112.) is the largest settlement and the seat of the Municipality of Ig, central Slovenia. Name The name ''Ig'' was first attested in 1249 as ''Yge'' (and as ''Ighe'', ''Iglem'', and ''Iglom'' in 1261, ''Yg'' in 1262, and ''Hyco'' and ''Hyc'' in 1299). During the Middle Ages, ''Ig'' was a regional name, and the settlement now known as Ig was called ''Studenec'' until the beginning of the 19th century. The etymology of the name ''Ig'' is unclear. It may be connected with the Slovene common noun ''igo'' 'yoke' (in reference to the course of the Iška River), or to the Slovene common noun ''iva'' 'goat willow' (through borrowing into and then from German), or it may derive from a pre-Slavic substratum.
