Hrašče (pronounced [ˈxɾaːʃtʃɛ]; German: Hraschtsche,[2] Italian: Crastie) is a village west of Postojna in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Name
[edit]Hrašče was attested in written sources in 1498 as Krasschach, with a locative ending. The name Hrašče, like similar names (e.g., Hraše, Hrastje, Hrastovica, Hrastnik), is derived from the plural demonym *Hrasťane, in turn derived from the word hrast 'oak', and originally referred to the local vegetation.[4]
