Travni Dol (pronounced [ˈtɾaːu̯ni ˈdoːu̯]; German: Drandul,[2] also Drandol,[3] Gottscheerish: Trandul[4]) is a small settlement in the hills south of Novo Mesto in southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[5]
The Slovene name Travni Dol literally means 'grassy valley'. The German name Drandul (or Drandol) and the Gottscheerish name Trandul are approximations of the Slovene name.[4][6] The name of the settlement was also recorded as Traundul in the land registry of 1574[4] and in 1881.[7] The name Travni Dol and names like it (e.g., Trava) are derived from the Slovene common noun trava 'grass'.[8]
