Župančiči (pronounced [ʒuˈpaːntʃitʃi], Italian: Zupancici [2]) is a small settlement in the City Municipality of Koper in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[3]
Geography
Župančiči is located in a narrow valley above the right bank of the Rokava River. There are fertile tilled fields in the valley, and the surrounding slopes have pastures, meadows, and sparse woods.[4]
Name
The name Župančiči is plural, presumably referring to former residents with the surname Župančič. The surname is derived from the common noun župan, referring to a local leader, and has given rise to other toponyms, such as Županje Njive.[5] Locally, the village is known as Flegi.[4]
