Hobovše pri Stari Oselici (in Slovenian pronounced as /xɔˈboːu̯ʃɛ pɾi ˈstaːɾi ˈoːsɛlitsi/; German: Hobousche bei Altoßlitz[2]) is a dispersed settlement south of Stara Oselica in the Municipality of Gorenja Vas–Poljane in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
The name Hobovše pri Stari Oselici means 'Hobovše near Stara Oselica'. The village was attested in historical sources as Chotwůsse in 1291, Chotwůsche in 1318, and Chadbuesch in 1500.[4] [5] The name is believed to derive from the plural demonym *Hotebǫďe-vьsʼane 'residents of Hotebǫdъ's village', referring to an early individual associated with the settlement.[5]
