Dežno pri Podlehniku
Introduction '''Dežno pri Podlehniku''' () is a settlement in the Haloze Hills in the Municipality of Podlehnik in eastern Slovenia. The area traditionally belonged to the Styria region. It is now included in the Drava Statistical Region.
Name The settlement was recorded in written sources in 1275 as ''in Dezzken'' and in 1440 as ''im ... Desachen, Deschene''. The name is probably derived from the common noun ''deža'' 'squat round vessel', also used in the metaphorical sense 'hollow carved by water'. The name of the settlement was changed from ''Dežno'' to ''Dežno pri Podlehniku'' (literally, 'Dežno near Podlehnik') in 1953.
