Fučkovci
Fučkovci () is a settlement on the terrace above the left bank of the Kolpa River in the Municipality of Črnomelj in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia, next to the border with Croatia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region. Name The settlement was first attested in written sources in 1490 as ''Futskowisch'' (and in 1674 as ''Fuschkhoutzy'').

The name ''Fučko'' itself could be derived from the verb ''fučkati'' 'to whistle', but is probably a hypocorism of the personal name ''Fuk'' (until recently also a Slovene surname), likely derived from the Old High German name ''Fucco''.
