Dobrna

Dobrna (pronounced [ˈdoːbəɾna], German: Neuhaus[2]) is a settlement in Slovenia.

It lies north of Celje and east of Velenje in an area that is part of the traditional region of Styria.

[3] The name Dobrna is probably derived from the Slavic nickname *Dobrъ, referring to an early inhabitant of the place, therefore originally meaning 'Dobrъ's village'.

Another possibility is derivation from the common noun *dǫbrъ 'deciduous or oak forest', in turn derived from *dǫbъ 'deciduous tree, oak', referring to the local vegetation.

[4] The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary (Slovene: Marijino vnebovzetje) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje.
