Name The name Dolenje Otave literally means 'lower Otave', contrasting with the name of neighboring Gorenje Otave (literally, 'upper Otave'). The name is probably derived from the Slovene common noun otava 'second crop (of hay)', referring to a meadow or area where hay could be harvested twice during the summer.
