Name
The name Volčja Draga literally means 'wolf valley'. The first part of the name is derived from the Slovene adjective volčji (literally, 'wolf'), which may refer to the animal (< volk 'wolf') or to the related Slavic personal name *Vьlkъ. The second part of the name is from the common noun draga 'small, narrow valley', referring to the geographical location of the settlement.[3]
