Dobrova pri Prihovi (pronounced as /sl/) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Oplotnica in eastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included in the Drava Statistical Region.[2]
The settlement was named Dobrova until 1998, when it was renamed Dobrova pri Prihovi (literally, 'Dobrova near Prihova') to differentiate it from other settlements with the same name.[1] The name Dobrova is shared with several other places in Slovenia and is derived from Common Slavic *dǫbrova 'place where there is a deciduous or oak forest', in turn derived from *dǫbъ 'deciduous tree, oak'. Like similar names (e.g., Dobrovce, Dobrovnik, Zadobrova), it originally referred to the local vegetation.[3]
