Dobrava (toponym)

It can be translated into "oak grove" or "oak woods".Annali: Sezione slava'. Volume 9. Naples, Italy: Istituto universitario orientale, 1966. p. 34. The term ''dobrava'' is used exclusively for Quercus robur. Forests and other oak species have gained different sobriquets in modern usage.
