Sromlje (pronounced [ˈsɾoːmljɛ], German: Sromle[2]) is a village in the hills north of Brežice in the Municipality of Brežice in eastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[3]
Sromlje was attested in historical sources as Zwaromes in 1268, Swaroͤmel in 1309, and Zwaroml in 1322, among other spellings. The name is derived from the Slavic nickname *Svaromъ via the plural demonym *Svaromľane, therefore originally meaning 'inhabitants of Svaromъ's village', referring to an early resident of the place.[4]
