Ponova Vas (pronounced [pɔˈnɔːʋa ˈʋaːs] or [pɔˈnoːʋa ˈʋaːs]; Slovene: Ponova vas, German: Pöndorf[2]) is a village southwest of Grosuplje in central Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The Municipality of Grosuplje is included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[3] The settlement includes the hamlets of Čemetija, Benat, and Kobiljek.[4]
Name
Ponova Vas was attested in written sources in 1436 as Penndorff (and as Ponoua vaſs in 1686, Pondorff in 1688, and Panoua vaſs in 1720).[5][6] In the past the German name was Pöndorf.[2] In the local dialect, the name is pronounced Panova vas. The morphology of the name indicates that it is a possessive form of a personal name, perhaps Old High German Pono or Bono, thus meaning 'Pono's village' or 'Bono's village'. Derivations from *(Žu)panova vьsь 'mayor's village' and from the Italian personal name Beno have been rejected for accentual reasons.[5]
