NK Triglav Kranj (defunct)

Nogometni Klub Triglav Kranj (English: Triglav Kranj Football Club), commonly referred to as NK Triglav Kranj or simply Triglav, was a Slovenian football club, which played in the town of Kranj. During the time in Slovenian Republic League, they were also known by the name Korotan Kranj until 1955. They were dissolved during the mid-1990s, when they merged with NK Naklo. The new NK Triglav Kranj, which was officially founded in 1997, is legally not considered to be the successor of the old Triglav Kranj and the statistics and honours of the two clubs are kept separate by the Football Association of Slovenia.

Kranj

Kranj (pronounced [ˈkɾàːn]; also known by other alternative names) is the fourth-largest city in Slovenia, with a population of 54,500 (2010). It is located approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) northwest of Ljubljana. The centre of the City Municipality of Kranj and of the traditional region of Upper Carniola (northwestern Slovenia) is a mainly industrial city with significant electronics and rubber industries.

Geography

The nucleus of the city is a well-preserved medieval old town, built at the confluence of the Kokra and Sava rivers. The city is served by the Kranj railway station on the route from Ljubljana to Munich, Germany (via Jesenice and Villach, Austria) and a highway. Slovenia's national airport, Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (in Brnik) is also very close to Kranj, considerably more so than its nominal client, Ljubljana.

Name

Kranj was attested in written sources in the 5th century and c. 670 as Carnium (and as via Chreinariorum in 973, actum Kreine in 1050–65, in loco Chreina in 1065–77, and Chrainburch in 1291). The Slovene name is drerived from Slavic *Korn’ь, borrowed from Romance Carnium in late antiquity. Like the Latin regional name Carnia, it is derived from the northern Italic (Celtic) tribe known as the Carnī (Greek: Κάρνοι). The name of the tribe is probably derived from the Celtic root *karno- 'peak, hill, pile of stones'. The German name of the town was Krainburg. The name of the historical region of Carniola is a Latin diminutive form of Carnia.
