Sinja Gorica
Sinja Gorica (; german: Schweinbüchl''Intelligenzblatt zur Laibacher Zeitung'', no. 141. 24 November 1849, p. 68. or Schweinsbüchel, later ''Scheinbüchel'') is a settlement immediately northwest of Vrhnika in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. The settlement consists of two parts: the older part stands to the southeast, built around the foot of a hill and along the road to Blatna Brezovica. The newer part, the hamlet of Sap, stands along the main road from Vrhnika to Ljubljana. Name Sinja Gorica was first mentioned in written sources in 1414 under the German name ''Sweinpuhel'' (literally, 'pig hill'), and as ''Sweinpůhel'' in 1418, ''Singa goriza'' in 1474, and ''Sweinpuhl'' in 1496. Based on the oldest transcriptions of the name, it is likely that the Slovene name is derived from the adjective ''*svinь(jь)'' 'pig' and that the name may have referred to a hill where pigs foraged. A less likely theory is that the German name was a mistranslation of the Slovene adjective '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
