Primskovo, Kranj
Name
The name Primskovo is probably derives from an adjective form of the Slavic common noun *prijьmьskъ 'son-in-law that settles on the bride's farm', shortened from a longer name such as Prijьmьskovo selo/polje (literally, 'son-in-law's village/field'). It may also be derived from the (unconfirmed) nickname *Primъ, meaning 'Primъ's (village/field)'. In the past the German name was Primskau or Primskou.
History
The remains of a stronghold built for protection against Ottoman attacks are visible in Primskovo. A primary school with four grades was established in the village in 1890. Primskovo was annexed by the city of Kranj in 1957, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
