Jarše (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈjàːɾʃɛ])[2] is a former village in the northeast part of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.

The original village core of Jarše lies on a terrace above the Sava River along the old main road from Ježica to Hrastje.

A less likely hypothesis derives the name from the adjective jar 'sown in spring' or 'weak' or 'angry' because the suffix -išče is not found with adjectival roots, and also for accentual reasons.

[3] The southern, newer part of Jarše (including 28 houses with 327 residents) was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1935.

[1] After the Second World War, many residential, commercial, and industrial buildings were built in the newer part of Jarše.
