Znojile pri Studencu


Znojile pri Studencu is a small settlement in the hills west of Studenec in the Municipality of Sevnica in east-central Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Znojile to Znojile pri Studencu in 1955. Znojile was attested in written sources in 1364 as Znogl. The name is derived from *znojilo 'sunny or sun-facing area' from the verb *znojiti 'to be warmed by the sun'. The name therefore refers to the geographical orientation of the place.
