Godovič (pronounced [ɡɔdɔˈʋiːtʃ] or [ɡɔdɔˈʋitʃ]; German: Godowitsch[2]) is a settlement in the hills southeast of Idrija in the traditional Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
Name[]
Godovič was attested in historical sources as Godawitz in 1450.[3] The name Godovič is based on a personal name with the root *god- (e.g., *Godislavъ, *Godimirъ, etc.), probably referring to something good or favorable. It is related to place names such as Godič, Godemarci, and Godeninci.[4] Locally, the name of the settlement has a mobile accent, pronounced [ɡɔˈdɔːʋitʃ], genitive [ɡɔdɔˈʋiːtʃa].[5]
Church[]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Urban and belongs to the Diocese of Koper.[6]
