Stična (pronounced [ˈstiːtʃna]; in older sources also Zatičina,[2][3] German: Sittich[2][3]) is a village in the Municipality of Ivančna Gorica in central Slovenia.

[4] It lies just north of Ivančna Gorica and is best known for its Cistercian Abbey.

[6] A former hamlet named Kaffeehaus[3][7] also stood between Svinjska Vas and Rupe.

Stična was first attested in 1136 as Sitik and Siticum (and as Sitich in 1190, Sitic in 1215, Sittich in 1241, and Sitizena in 1689).

It is derived (via dissimilation) from *Štična, which developed through vowel reduction from *Žitičina, created from the personal name *Žitiťь (which was the basis for the German name Sittich).
