Dobrava (toponym)
Dobrava (Doe-bra-va) is a toponym with Slovene origins, used in Slovenia, Austria, Croatia and Italy. It derives from the Proto-Slavic word ''*dǫbъ'' meaning "oak". 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. Toponyms that derive from the same root word, ''dob'', are often confused with similar Slovene words — particularly ''dober'' and ''dobra,'' both meaning "good." In contrast to the term ''dobrava'''s specificity, however, ''dober'' and ''dobra'' may be used variably, as names for a miscellany of places.
