Name[]

Velika Raven is recorded in older sources in Slovene as Velika Rauna,[5] Velke Ravne,[6] Velka Ravan,[7] and Velika Ravan,[3] and in German as Welkaraun.[3] The name literally means 'large flat area', referring to level terrain in hilly territory, from the common noun raven or ravan 'level area, plain', related to names such as Raven, Ravne, Ravnica, and Ravnace.[8]

History[]

Velika Raven had a population of 29 (in four houses) in 1900,[3] 22 (in three houses) in 1931,[1] and 25 (in four houses) in 1953.[9] Velika Raven was annexed by Hribi in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[10][11][12]
