Brankovo (pronounced as /sl/; de|Brankou[2]) is a small settlement on the edge of the valley known as Mišja dolina (literally, 'Monks' valley'[3]), 3km (02miles) west of Velike Lašče in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[4]
Brankovo was attested in written sources as Frankchen in 1436 and Frankowicz in 1465.[5] The name Brankovo is derived from an oeconym, referring to an isolated farm known as Branko that the village developed from.[6]
