Studor v Bohinju (pronounced [stuˈdɔ́ɾ w bɔˈxíːnju]) is a village in the Municipality of Bohinj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. Mount Studor rises above the village.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Studor to Studor v Bohinju in 1955.^[2] The name of the settlement was first attested in 1291 as Ztodar. The name was originally an oronym, *Stodor, derived from Common Slavic *stodorъ 'sharp peak'. The pronunciation Stu- for Sto- is a dialect feature (Slovene: ukanje) that has become standardized in this toponym.^[3]
