Mala Ligojna
Mala Ligojna (; ) is a village north of Vrhnika in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. It includes the hamlet of Frtica (in older sources also "Na Fortici"). Name. Together with neighboring Velika Ligojna (literally 'Big Ligojna'), Mala Ligojna (literally, 'Little Ligojna') was attested in written sources in 1309 as "Luckossel" (and as "Lucozel" in 1317, "Lvkozel" in 1318, and "Oberludigoni" in 1526). The medieval transcriptions indicate that the name was "Luko(va) sela" (literally, 'Luka's village') in the 14th century, probably originally based on the name "*Ľudigojь" and then confused in the transcriptions with the similar name "Luka . If so, today's name is a result of the sound change ľu-" > "li-" and modern vowel reduction, and means 'Ljudigoj's village'. Church. The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Leonard and belongs to the Parish of Vrhnika. The church dates from 1567 and was remodeled in the Baroque style in the 18th century.
