Kamnjek (German: Kamnik)[2] is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It now a hamlet of the village of Letenice.[3] It lies west of the village center of Letenice, in a small damp valley on a road leading into the east side of the Udin Woods (Slovene: Udin boršt).[1]
Name
Like similar names (e.g., Kamnik, Kamenik, Kamnje, Kamno, etc.), the name Kamnjek is ultimately derived from the Slavic common noun *kamy (accusative: *kamenь) 'stone', referring to the local geography.[4][5] In the 19th century the German name was Kamnik.[2][6]
History
Kamnjek was merged with the village of Letenice in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[7][8]
