Sela pri Sobračah


Sela pri Sobračah is a small settlement in the Municipality of Ivančna Gorica in central Slovenia. It lies northeast of Šentvid, just off the regional road northwards to Šmartno pri Litiji. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Selo pri Svetem Andreju to Sela pri Sobračah in 1952. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. In the past the German name was Selo bei Sankt Andrä.
