Grosuplje (pronounced (listen); German: Großlupp) is a town in central Slovenia, in the northwest of the traditional region of Lower Carniola. It is the seat of the Municipality of Grosuplje and is part of the Central Slovenia Statistical Region. It has close ties to the nearby capital, Ljubljana. Grosuplje was first attested in written sources in 1136 as Groslupp (and as Grasslupp in 1220–50, and Grazlup in 1249). The settlement is known as Grasuple in the local dialect. The etymological origin of the name is unclear. One theory derives it from *Graslupoje (selo/poľe)—literally, 'wet (village/field)', from the adjective *graslupъ. Another theory derives the name from Lombard *grass(ah)lauffja 'rapids' but is undermined by the lack of fast-flowing water in the area. Yet another theory derives it from the hypothetical Lombard name *Graslupus borrowed into Slavic as *Groslupъ, whereby *Groslupľe selo would literally mean 'Groslupъ's village'. In the past the German name was Großlupp. More information...
