Kopernica (de|Deutschlitta; hu|Barskapronca) is a village and municipality in Žiar nad Hronom District in the Banská Bystrica Region of central Slovakia.
The name comes from koper (Slovak koper, kôpor: dill) + -nica. "The land where the wild dill grows".[8]
The village belonged to a German language island, known as Hauerland.[1] The German population was expelled in 1945.
In 1990, Poor Clares returned to the village and established a new monastery in the municipality.[9]
