StiÄna (pronounced [ˈstiËtʃna]; in older sources also ZatiÄina,[2][3] German: Sittich[2][3]) is a village in the Municipality of IvanÄna Gorica in central Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[4] It lies just north of IvanÄna Gorica and is best known for its Cistercian Abbey. The abbey dates to the 12th century and is the oldest monastery in Slovenia.[5] It includes the hamlets of Rupe, Å torovje (in older sources also Stornje[3]), and Svinjska Vas (Slovene: Svinjska vas, German: Schweindorf[3]).[6] A former hamlet named Kaffeehaus[3][7] also stood between Svinjska Vas and Rupe.
Name
StiÄna 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 *Å tiÄna, which developed through vowel reduction from *ŽitiÄina, created from the personal name *Žitiťь (which was the basis for the German name Sittich). *Žitiťь was a hypocorism of the name *ŽitÑŠ.[8] An archaic variant of the name, ZatiÄina, was still used in the early 20th century.[9][10] The settlement was known as Sittich in German in the past.[2][3]
