Idrijske Krnice

Idrijske Krnice (; ) is a dispersed settlement in the hills northwest of Spodnja Idrija in the Municipality of Idrija in the traditional Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.
Name.
The name of the settlement was changed from "Krnice" to "Idrske Krnice" in 1952. It was changed again from "Idrske Krnice" to "Idrijske Krnice" in 1980. The name literally means 'Krnice near Idrija', distinguishing the village from Ledinske Krnice (i.e., 'Krnice near Ledine') to the east. The plural place name "Krnice" (and the corresponding singular "Krnica") is found several times in Slovenia and is derived from the common noun "krnica" 'cirque, bowl', referring to the local geography.
