V Sloveniji imamo Jeruzalem, Dunaj in Rim, najpogostejši poimenovanji sta Gradišče in Pristava, kar 58 naselij pa je brez prebivalcev

In Slovenia, there are more than 6,000 settlements and over 10,000 streets, many of which bear unusual or intriguing names. Some villages share names with foreign capitals such as Jerusalem, Vienna, and Rome. According to data from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS), the most common village names are "Gradišče" and "Pristava," each appearing eight times. Other frequently used names include "Brezje," "Dolenja vas," "Potok," and "Ravne," which appear seven times each. Among these, 58 settlements have no permanent residents, highlighting the diversity and peculiarities of Slovenian geography and local culture. The country's smallest and most densely populated settlement is Kerinov Grm, located in the city municipality of Krško. It covers just 0.04 square kilometers, equivalent to four hectares, and had 301 residents at the start of this year. If the entire territory of Slovenia were as densely populated as Kerinov Grm, the population would reach nearly 153 million. This comparison underscores the extreme density of this tiny village. The second and third most densely populated settlements are Piran, with 5,314 residents per square kilometer, and Nova Gorica, with 3,709 residents per square kilometer. Some Slovenian villages share names with well-known cities abroad, though they typically have far fewer inhabitants. For example, the village of Jerusalem in the Municipality of Ljutomer had 46 residents at the beginning of the year, while Vienna in the Municipality of Krško had 26, and Rome in the Municipality of Črnomelj had 19. There are also two villages named Podgorica, one in the Municipality of Dobrepolje with 64 residents and another in the Municipality of Sevnica with 93. Additionally, there are villages called Bratislavce, home to 151 residents, and Banja Loka, which has 33 residents. Among the longest names of Slovenian settlements, the title goes to "Nova Gora nad Slovensko Bistrica," which consists of 28 characters. This village had 145 residents at the start of the year. On the other end of the spectrum, the shortest name belongs to the village of Ig, which had 2,426 residents in January. These extremes illustrate the range of linguistic and cultural influences reflected in Slovenian place names. Ljubljana, the capital city, is not only the largest settlement in Slovenia but also the most populous, covering 164 square kilometers and housing over 293,000 residents at the beginning of the year. It is followed by Maribor, which has approximately 98,000 residents. Together, these two cities account for nearly 18% of the country’s total population. In contrast, 14 settlements had only one resident, and 58 had none, underscoring the wide variation in population distribution across the nation. Street names in Slovenia also reflect similar patterns. There are 10,271 streets with house numbers, and the most common name is "Šolska ulica," appearing 52 times. Other frequent names include "Prešernova ulica," "Vrtna ulica," and "Cankarjeva ulica," each appearing 46, 45, and 44 times respectively. Nearly half of all streets, about 49%, have unique names. The street with the highest number of residents is Celovška cesta in Ljubljana, where 5,271 people lived at the start of the year. Meanwhile, Ižanska cesta holds the record for the most house numbers, with 424. These data provide insight into the urban landscape and demographic trends within Slovenia.
