Podutik ({{IPA|sl|pɔduˈtiːk|pron}}, in older sources also Utik{{cite book |title=Special-Orts-Repertorium von Krain |date=1884 |publisher=Alfred Hölder |location=Vienna |page=64}} or Pod Utikom) is a former settlement in central Slovenia in the northwest part of the capital Ljubljana. It belongs to the Dravlje District of the City Municipality of Ljubljana. It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.
Geography
Podutik lies south of Kamna Gorica and west of Koseze. It was originally a ribbon village along the road to Dobrova,{{cite book |title=Laibach |date=1914 |type = Map, 1:75,000 |publisher=K.u.k. Militärgeographisches Institut |location=Vienna}} but much housing has been built south of the old village center since 1967. Prevalnik Hill (elevation {{convert|378|m|disp=or|sp=us}}) rises to the west, Strmica Hill ({{convert|384|m|disp=or|sp=us}}) to the north, and Lookout Peak (Stražni vrh, {{convert|439|m|disp=or|sp=us}}) to the south. The former village included the hamlets of Grič and Na Opekarni (also known as Smodikovec). The soil is loamy and there are fields to the southwest.
Name
Podutik was attested in historical sources as Luttich in 1178, Weytichk in 1312, and Wittikh in 1421, among other spellings.{{cite web |title=Utik |url=https://topografija.zrc-sazu.si/ |website=Slovenska historična topografija |publisher=ZRC SAZU Zgodovinski inštitut Milka Kosa |access-date=November 6, 2020}} In older modern sources, the names Utik and Pod Utikom are found. The name Podutik is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost case inflection, from pod 'below' + Utik, referring to Utik Hill (elevation {{convert|441|m|disp=or|sp=us}}) to the southwest.{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=447}}
History
