Mali Cerovec (pronounced [ˈmaːli tsɛˈɾɔːʋəts]) is a settlement in the foothills of the Gorjanci range in the City Municipality of Novo Mesto in southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[2]
Name
[edit]The name Mali Cerovec literally means 'little Cerovec', contrasting with neighboring Veliki Cerovec (lit. 'big Cerovec'), which has a population about six times larger. Like other settlements that share the common name Cerovec (e.g., Cerovec pod Bočem, Cerovec pri Črešnjevcu, Cerovec pri Šmarju, etc.), the name is derived from the Slovene common noun cer 'Turkey oak' and originally refers to the local vegetation.[3]
