Brod (pronounced [ˈbɾoːt]; sometimes also Prod[2]) is a formerly independent settlement in the northern part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.

[3] Brod lies on a side road in the middle of meadows southeast of Črnuče and north of the Sava River.

However, in this case the name is derived from the common noun prod 'gravel, stones carried and deposited by water', referring to the terrain.

Old maps show that the Sava River formerly flowed closer to the village (but lacked a ferry),[5] and the Jarše Gravel Bank (Slovene: Jarški prod) south of the village is labeled Jarski brod on a 1900 map.

[7] Brod was annexed by the village of Ježa in 1952, ending its existence as an independent settlement.
