Dragonja Vas (pronounced [dɾaˈɡoːnja ˈʋaːs]; Slovene: Dragonja vas) is a small village in the Municipality of Kidričevo in northeastern Slovenia. Traditionally the area was part of Styria and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Drava Statistical Region.[2]
Name
Dragonja Vas was first attested in early sources as Zdragona or Sdragona (between 1763 and 1787). The name is derived from a Slavic personal name, either from *Dragon’a vьsь 'Dragonъ's village' or (with dialect -o- < -a-) from *Dragan’a vьsь 'Draganъ's village'. In either case, both personal names are based on the root *dôrgъ 'dear'.[3]
