Cerovec Stanka Vraza (pronounced as /sl/) is a village in the Municipality of Ormož in northeastern Slovenia. The area belongs to the traditional Styria region and is now included in the Drava Statistical Region.[2]

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Cerovec to Cerovec Stanka Vraza in 1980.[3]

Cultural heritage

The village is the birthplace of Stanko Vraz, after whom it was renamed (as well as to differentiate it from a number of other settlements in Slovenia named Cerovec). The house in which Vraz was born in 1810 is preserved, and a commemorative plaque was unveiled on it in 1951.[4]
