Trdobojci (pronounced [təɾdɔˈboːi̯tsi]; German: Terdoboitzen[2]) is a settlement in the Haloze Hills in the Municipality of Videm in eastern Slovenia. The area traditionally belonged to the Styria region. It is now included in the Drava Statistical Region.[3] It includes the hamlets of Spodnji Trdobojci (German: Unterterdoboitzen) and Zgornji Trdobojci (German: Oberterdoboitzen).[2]
Name[edit]
Trdobojci was attested in written sources in 1440 as Terdowoycz. It is believed to be a plural demonym (via *Tvьrdobǫd-j-ьci) based on the Slavic personal name *Tvьrdobǫdъ, a clipped form of the older *Tvьrdobǫd-je (selo) 'Tvьrdobǫdъ's village'.[4][5] The first element of the compound name, tvьrd, means 'hard',[6] and the second, bǫdъ, is an imperative of the verb biti;[7] the name Tvьrdobǫdъ thus meant 'be hard'.
