Šmarata (pronounced [ʃmaˈɾaːta], German: Sankt Margarethen,[2] Italian: Santa Margherita (di Olisa)[3]) is a village south of Stari Trg pri Ložu in the Municipality of Loška Dolina in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[4]
Name
[edit]Šmarata was attested in written records in 1275 as villa S. Margarite (and as circa sanctam Margareta in 1327, and Sand Margreten pey Sneperch in 1363). The name Šmarata is a contraction of *Š(ent)-Margareta 'Saint Margaret' (with development of Margareta > Marjeta), referring to the local church. In the local dialect, the village is known as Šmorata.[5]
Church
[edit]
The local church, from which the settlement gets its name, is dedicated to Saint Margaret (Slovene: sveta Marjeta) and belongs to the Parish of Stari Trg.[6]
