Sidraž


Sidraž is a settlement in the Municipality of Cerklje na Gorenjskem in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Geography

Sidraž is a hill settlement in a shady location east of Šenturška Gora on a saddle between Doblič and Tunjščica creeks. The soil is loamy and there is a spring near the village.

Name

Sidraž was mentioned in historical sources in 1421 as Schydrachs. The name is of unclear origin. A proposed derivation from *suhi draž is very unlikely for phonological reasons, and the village name is more likely based on a truncated personal name.
