Kot (; ) is a village in the Municipality of Ig in central Slovenia, just south of the capital Ljubljana. The municipality is part of the traditional region of Inner Carniola and is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.
Name.
Kot was attested in historical sources as "Binkhell" in 1463 (and as "Winkell" in 1467 and "Winckell" in 1484). The name "Kot" is shared by several villages in Slovenia. It comes from the common noun "kot" 'closed valley, combe', referring to the place where a valley ends, closed in by mountains or hills. The village was known as "Winkel" in modern German, which has the same meaning.
