Sneberje (pronounced [ˈsneːbɛɾjɛ]; in older sources also Snebrje[2]) is a formerly independent settlement in the northeast part of the capital Ljubljana in central Slovenia.
Proposed reconstructions from *sěnoberьje and *sěnoberъ 'gathering hay' have been rejected for historical and linguistic reasons.
A hypothetical etymology is derivation from *(pri) sin’ejemъ vyrьjě 'at the blue pool', referring to its location near the Sava River.
[4] During the Second World War, Slavko Novak was shot by Italian forces on 22 June 1941 at house no.
He is considered the first victim of the Italian forces in Ljubljana, and a plaque on the house commemorates the event.
