"Ljubljana" meaning in Slovene

See Ljubljana in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˌʎuˈbʎaːna/ (note: SL) Audio: Sl-Ljubljana.ogg
Etymology: Of unclear origin. * According to etymologist Tijmen Pronk, the name Ljubljana (along with the German Laibach and the Italian Lubiana) is derived from the Proto-Slavic *ľubъ (“pleasant, sweet, love”) and the slavic ethnonymic suffix *-jan. Consequently, the original place name can be reconstructed as *Ljuba (“beloved place”), while the inhabitants were referred to as *Ljubljane. If you asked them where they lived, they would have responded with *v Ljubjah, which is a possible origin of the German name Laibach. * Silvo Torkar suggests a connection to the old Slavic name Ljubovid (“one of a lovely appearance”), itself from the former. More at Ljubljana.
