Sovra (pronounced [ˈsoːu̯ɾa]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Žiri in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It lies in the valley of Žirovnica Creek, a tributary of the Poljane Sora, south of the town of Žiri.[2]

Name

Sovra was attested in written sources as Zaevr in 1318, Sewre in 1453, and Soure in 1500, among other spellings.[3] The name of the village is originally a hydronym, sharing its name with the Sovra River, as the Poljane Sora is known in its upper course. The name is derived from the common noun *ső̜vьra with the original meaning 'flashy stream' or 'confluence'.[4]
