Vavpča Vas pri Dobrniču (pronounced [ˈvaːu̯ptʃa ˈvaːs pɾi ˈdoːbəɾnitʃu]; Slovene: Vavpča vas pri Dobrniču) is a settlement in the Municipality of Trebnje in eastern Slovenia. It lies in a small valley north of Dobrnič. Traditionally the area was part of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[2]
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Vavpča vas to Vavpča vas pri Dobrniču (literally, 'Vavpča Vas near Dobrnič') in 1955.[3] The settlement was first mentioned in written sources in 1335 as Amanstorf (and as Amannstorf in 1383, and Ambtmansdorf in 1467). The Slovene name is derived from *Valp(o)ťa vas, literally 'steward's village', from the Slovene common noun valpot 'chief steward at a manor' (borrowed from Old High German waltboto 'ruler's deputy'). The medieval German attestations of the name are based on the Middle High German word amman or ambetman 'steward'.[4]
