Brje pri Koprivi (pronounced [ˈbəɾjɛ pɾi kɔˈpɾiːʋi]) is a small settlement southeast of Kopriva in the Municipality of Sežana in the Littoral region of Slovenia. [2]
The name Brje pri Koprivi literally means 'Brje near Kopriva'. The name Brje is derived from *Brjane 'hill dwellers', ultimately from Common Slavic *bьrdo 'hill'. Like other settlements with the same name (e.g., Brje, Brje pri Komnu), it is thus a geographical designation for the original inhabitants. [3]
It was settled by the Uskoks, as evidenced by the surnames Jurca, Novič, and Gulič as well as the former church (demolished in 1802) dedicated to the Prophet Elijah. [4]
