Dombrava
Dombrava (pronounced [dɔmˈbɾaːʋa]) is a settlement in the lower Vipava Valley in the Municipality of Renče–Vogrsko in the Littoral region of Slovenia.
Name
The name Dombrava, with an m reflecting the old nasal vowel *ǫ, shares its origin with the more frequent place name Dobrava (e.g., Dolenja Dobrava). Both are derived from Slavic *dǫbra̋va 'area with deciduous or oak woods' (cf. modern Slovene dobrava 'gently rolling partially wooded land'), referring to the local geography. This, in turn, is derived from Slavic *dǫ̂bъ 'deciduous tree, oak'.
