Draževnik (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈdɾaːʒɛwnik/) is a small settlement southeast of Dobrova in the Municipality of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
The name Draževnik, like similar toponyms (e.g., Draža vas, Draženci, Dražgoše), is probably derived from a Slavic personal name (such as *Dragъ/Drago, *Dražigojь, *Dražigostь) and likely refers to an early inhabitant of the place.[3] In the past it was known as Draschounik in German.[4]
On 18 November 1942 Italian forces killed several villagers from Draževnik in nearby Podsmreka.[5]
