Trbonje (in Slovenian pronounced as /təɾˈboːnjɛ/) is a village on the right bank of the Drava River east of Dravograd in the Slovenia Styria region in northern Slovenia.[2]

Name

Trbonje was mentioned in written sources in 1251 as in Trebpronounced as /v̊/enne (and as Trefunn in 1345, ze Trafim in 1376, zu Traffn in 1377, and datz Trafnn in 1378). The Slovene name is a feminine plural noun today, but this is not confirmed by the medieval sources. It is therefore hypothesized that the name is a deadjectival derived through ellipsis from *Trěbon′e selo (literally, 'Trěbonъ's village'), referring to an early inhabitant of the place.[3]

Church

The local parish church is dedicated to the Holy Cross. It was built in 1642 and extended in 1759 and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor.[4]
