Malo Hudo
Malo Hudo (pronounced [ˈmaːlɔ ˈxuːdɔ]; German: Pösendorf) is a settlement just west of Ivančna Gorica in the historical region of Lower Carniola in central Slovenia. The Municipality of Ivančna Gorica is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.
The name Pösendorf was used on this Austro-Hungarian 1874 cancellation
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Hudo to Malo Hudo (literally, 'little Hudo') in 1953. The name Hudo is derived from the adjective hud 'bad, poor' and, as in similar names (e.g., Huje), refers to poor soil quality in the region. In the past the German name was Pösendorf.
