Pince
Introduction '''Pince''' (; in older sources also ''Pinica'', ) is a settlement southeast of Lendava in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia. It lies close to the extreme eastern point of Slovenia, right on the border with Hungary.
Name The Slovene name ''Pince'' is borrowed from the Hungarian name of the village (which itself was borrowed from Slovene) and has replaced the older Slovene name ''Pinica''. The name derives from the Slovene common noun ''pivnica'', which means 'wine cellar' in the local dialect, via the development *''Pivьnica'' > *''Pivnice'' > *''Pinice'' > *''Pince''.
