Tlake ({{IPA|sl|ˈtlaːkɛ|pron}}) is a settlement in the Municipality of Rogatec in eastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[http://www.rogatec.net/ Rogatec municipal site] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091204120847/http://www.rogatec.net/ |date=2009-12-04 }}

Name

The name Tlake is derived from the Slovene common noun tlaka, originally referring to voluntary collective labor, and later to corvée under feudalism. It refers to a place where collective labor was performed. Because places with this name generally do not lie near old Roman roads, the suggestion that the name is derived from tlak 'pavement' is unlikely.{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=429}}
