Rupa (pronounced [ˈɾuːpa]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
[1] Rupa was attested in historical sources as Rvb in 1326, Rûb in 1327, Rub in 1369, and Růb in 1385, among other variations.
The name is derived from the Slovene common noun rupa 'cave, sinkhole, depression', referring to a local geographical feature.
The church cemetery was also used for burials of residents of Kokrica, Mlaka pri Kranju, Srakovlje, Ilovka, and Tatinec until 1787.
After that, the large Parish of Predvor was split, and residents of these villages were buried at Suha pri Predosljah until the cemetery was established next to the church in Predoslje.
