Bokrači (pronounced [ˈboːkɾatʃi]; in older sources also Bokreči, [2] Hungarian: Bokrács [2]) is a village in the Municipality of Puconci in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia. [3] It is divided into Spodnji Bokrači (or Spodnja Ves, Slovene: Spodnja ves) with the Fartel, Mlinar, Vukon, and Žagar farms, Zgornji Bokrači (or Zgornja Ves, Slovene: Zgornja ves) with the hamlets of Talaberov Breg and Žgonjarov Breg, and the hamlets of Duge Gomile and Malačičevi. [4]
Bokrači was attested in written sources in 1355 as Volkarach (and as Bolrah in 1359 and Wolcrach in 1370). The medieval transcriptions indicate that the name is derived from *Bolkrači, presumably a plural form of the personal name *Bolkrač, which is believed to be a hypocorism of a German name with the root *folc- (from which the German name Volker and Slovene name Volkar are derived). The name would thus refer to an early inhabitant of the place. A less likely possibility is that the name is derived from the Slavic hypocorism *Vьlkoračь. [5] In the local dialect, the village is known as Bokreči. [4]
