Source-derived summary

Draga (pronounced [ˈdɾaːɡa]) is a small village in the Municipality of Škofja Loka in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Name

Draga was attested in written sources in 1252 as Drag (and as Trag in 1439 and Draga in 1444). The name Draga is derived from the Slovene common noun draga 'small, narrow valley', referring to the geographical location of the settlement.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “human settlement in Slovenia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q520021. Authority coordinates are 46.147, 14.356. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
