Stara Oselica (pronounced [ˈstaːɾa ˈoːsɛlitsa]; German: Altoßlitz[2]) is a dispersed settlement in the Municipality of Gorenja Vas–Poljane in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]

Name

The name Stara Oselica literally means 'old Oselica' (in contrast to nearby Nova Oselica 'new Oselica'). The origin of the name Oselica is uncertain, but is likely derived from the common noun osel 'donkey' (or from the surname Osel derived from that noun). A less likely possibility, argued against by medieval transcriptions, is that the name is derived from the plant name oselica 'pepper-saxifrage'. The toponym Oslica has the same etymology.[4]
