Malo Hudo (pronounced [ˈmaːlɔ ˈxuːdɔ]; German: Pösendorf[2]) is a settlement just west of Ivančna Gorica in the historical region of Lower Carniola in central Slovenia. The Municipality of Ivančna Gorica is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]
Name[edit]
The name of the settlement was changed from Hudo to Malo Hudo (literally, 'little Hudo') in 1953.[4] The name Hudo is derived from the adjective hud 'bad, poor' and, as in similar names (e.g., Huje), refers to poor soil quality in the region.[5] In the past the German name was Pösendorf.[2]
