Vrbljene (pronounced [ˈʋəɾbljɛnɛ], in older sources also Vrbljane,[2] German: Werblene[2]) is a village south of Tomišelj in the Municipality of Ig in central Slovenia. The municipality is part of the traditional region of Inner Carniola and is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[3]
Vrbljene was attested in written sources in 1323 as Verblach (and as Werbliach in 1385 and Warblach in 1444). The name is derived from *Vrbljane, an accusative plural demonym meaning 'people living in the settlement of Vrba', which in turn is derived from the Slovene common noun vrba 'willow'. In the local dialect, the settlement is known as Vrbljen.[4]
