Luža (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈluːʒa/, German: Lacken[2]) is a small settlement near Trebnje in eastern Slovenia. The Municipality of Trebnje is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]
Luža was attested in historical sources as Lakken in 1444, Lakhen in 1471, and Lusach in 1507.[4] [5] The Slovene name Luža comes from the Slovene common noun luža 'pond, pool, puddle', referring to a local geographical feature.[6] The German name Lacken is believed to be of similar origin (cf. German Lache 'pool, puddle').[7]
