Fara (pronounced [ˈfaːɾa], in older sources Bloke and Pri Fari,[2] German: Pfarrdorf[2]) is a settlement just south of Nova Vas in the Municipality of Bloke in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
The settlement was formerly called (Male) Bloke (literally, '(little) Bloke'), distinguishing it from Velike Bloke (literally, 'big Bloke'). The Bloke parish church was built in the settlement, and the name Fara (literally, 'parish') became the name of the settlement.[3]
