Porezen (pronounced [ˈpoːɾɛzən]; in older sources also Porzen[2]) is a dispersed settlement on the northern slopes of a hill also named Porezen above the Bača Valley in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[3]
Name[edit]
Porezen was attested in historical sources as Poworsona in 1523, Possenikh in 1560, Potporsna in 1591, and Podporsnam in 1633. The name is reconstructed with the prefix pod 'below' as *Podvrěsьno, referring to a location below a peak called *Vrěsni vrh or *Vresnik—referring to the treeless peak southeast of the village now also called Porezen (elevation: 1,630 meters or 5,350 feet), which was covered in heather (Slovene: vresje).[4][5]
