Nova Vas (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈnɔːʋa ˈʋaːs/; Slovenian: Nova vas, German: Neudorf[3]) is the largest village and the administrative centre of the Municipality of Bloke in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[4]
Nova Vas was attested in written sources as villa nova in 1282, Newndorf in 1341, and Newdarff in 1499, among other spellings.[5] The name Nova vas literally means 'new village', designating a settlement that was created later than nearby villages. Nova vas is a common toponym in Slovenia.[6]
