Bevke is a village northeast of Vrhnika in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
Name
Bevke was attested in written records in 1391 as zu Bewkch. The name is likely originally an accusative plural form of a masculine personal name, preserved today in the surname Bevk. However, derivation from the Slavic personal name *Bělъkъ (originally an epithet for someone with light skin) is problematic because the change -lk- > -vk- did not occur until the 16th century.[3]
Church
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and belongs to the Ljubljana Archdiocese.[4]
