Vič (pronounced [ˈʋiːtʃ]; German: Waitsch[2]) is a former village in the western part of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.
[3] Vič was attested in written sources as Weyze in 1339, Weycz in 1414, and Weitsch in 1406, among other spellings.
Possibilities include derivation from the noun *vič 'willow switches' or 'young woods', or from the personal name *Vitъ, referring to an early inhabitant.
[2] Vič is the oldest settlement in the immediate area; Glince and Rožna Dolina were settled later.
[6] Vič was annexed by the City of Ljubljana in 1935, ending its existence as an independent settlement.
