Volče, Tolmin
Volče (pronounced [ˈʋoːu̯tʃɛ]; Italian: Volzana) is a settlement on the right bank of the Soča River in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of northwestern Slovenia, close to the border with Italy.[2]
Name
Volče was attested in historical sources as Volzana in 1295, Olza in 1338, Walçana in 1340, and Volzane in 1341. The name is derived from the plural demonym *Volčane based on the given name *Vьlkъ, thus originally meaning 'Volk's people' or 'residents of Volk's village'.[3]
Church
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Leonard and belongs to the Koper Diocese. A second church, built outside the settlement, is dedicated to the Prophet Daniel.[4]
