Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 118.) is a settlement in the Municipality of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is the center of the Gradaščica, Upper Gradaščica Valley. Name Polhov Gradec was first mentioned in written records under the German language, German name ''Pilchgrez'' in 1261 (''Pilchgraez'' in 1269, and simply ''Graetz'' in 1291; cf. modern-era German ''Billichgra(t)z''). All of these are derived from the Slovene name for the settlement, with the last element ''‑grätz'' derived from Slovene ''gradec'' 'little castle'. The first part of the name is derived from a Anthroponymy, personal name, ''Polh'' or ''Povh''; the name therefore means 'Polh's (little) castle'. The name ''Polh'' is, in turn, probably derived from the zoonym ''polh'' 'dormouse'. An alternative theory, considered less likely, derives ' ...
