Bukovica (pronounced as /sl/; German: Wukouza[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Škofja Loka in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
Bukovica was attested in written sources in 1291 as Bukkebitz (and as Bukkawitz in 1318 and Wukawicz in 1485). Bukovica is a common toponym and oronym in Slovenia. It is derived from the adjective bukov 'beech' (from bukev 'beech tree') and originally referred to the local vegetation.[3] In the past the German name was Wukouza.[2]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Florian.[4]
