Črni Potok (pronounced [ˈtʃəɾni ˈpɔːtɔk], German: Schwarzenbach[2]) is a former village in eastern Slovenia in the Municipality of Trebnje. It is now part of the village of Blato.[3] It is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.

Geography

[edit]

Črni Potok lies northwest of the village center of Blato at the headwaters of Cedilnica Creek.[1] It lies to the west of and above the Zajka Valley, which Zajka Creek flows through.[3]

Name

[edit]

The name Črni Potok literally means 'black creek', semantically corresponding to the German name Schwarzenbach, and it was originally a hydronym. Like similar names of streams (e.g., Črna and Črnec), the semantic motivation for the name is a creek that flows through a dark soil (i.e., non-gravel) bed or that carries dark, turbid water.[4]

History

[edit]

Črni Potok was annexed by Blato in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[5]
