Dobrna (pronounced
Name
The name Dobrna is probably derived from the Slavic nickname *Dobrъ, referring to an early inhabitant of the place, therefore originally meaning 'Dobrъ's village'. Another possibility is derivation from the common noun *dǫbrъ 'deciduous or oak forest', in turn derived from *dǫbъ 'deciduous tree, oak', referring to the local vegetation.[4]
Church
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary (Slovene: Marijino vnebovzetje) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It dates to the 16th century with 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century phases of rebuilding.[5]
Spa
Dobrna is also the site of Terme Dobrna, a spa tracing its history back to 1612. In 1810 and 1811 it was visited by Louis Bonaparte.[6]
