Vrbljene (pronounced [ˈʋəɾbljɛnɛ], in older sources also Vrbljane,[2] German: Werblene[2]) is a village south of Tomišelj in the Municipality of Ig in central Slovenia.

[3] Vrbljene was attested in written sources in 1323 as Verblach (and as Werbliach in 1385 and Warblach in 1444).

The name is derived from *Vrbljane, an accusative plural demonym meaning 'people living in the settlement of Vrba', which in turn is derived from the Slovene common noun vrba 'willow'.

[4] During excavation for a cellar in the village in 1929, a silver coin with the year 1600 was discovered.
