In slovenia, we have a bunch of place names, named after what was/is there, and since things repeat, place names also repeat, which can be a pain when trying to find stuff on a map or even when navigating with google maps Someone lived by the stream ("Potok"), and you refer to it by that? After some time, that place gets named "Stream" ("Potok")... and we have 7 of those in slovenia. A birch (or more) growing there (birch=Breza)? The locals refer to that as "Brezje", and we have 7 places named that. Something with thorns ("Trn, Trnje")? 6 places named "Trnovec" It's on a larger hill ("Planina")? 6 places. Was there a new (nova) village (vas) built? 5 settlements named "nova vas" Sometimes that can be solved by using "<settlement name> by <other large settlement>", but sometimes you have no idea and have to ask (or look at the post number or something).
