Kočna[1] [2] [3] at 2540m (8,330feet) high, is the second-highest mountain in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps and the westernmost peak of the Grintovec Range (sl|Grintovci). Its prominent and easily recognized peak is visible from far around. The mountain has two peaks: the higher Jezersko Kočna (Jezerska Kočna, 2540m (8,330feet)) and the nearby lower Kokra Kočna (sl|Kokrska Kočna, 2520m (8,270feet)).[1]
The oronym Kočna is derived from the Slovenian common noun kočna 'cirque', referring to a valley with an amphitheater-like head and also to the valley head itself with pastures and forests below the wall of a mountain, and was applied to the mountain via metonymy. The common noun kočna itself is derived from the Slavic root *kǫtъ 'corner'. The name Kočna is also found as a settlement name for the nearby village of Kočna and in the derived name Podkočna.[4]
