Name
The name Velike Bloke literally means 'big Bloke' and originally distinguished the settlement from Male Bloke (literally, 'little Bloke'). However, after the parish church was built in Male Bloke, that settlement became known as Fara (literally, 'parish').[2] The name Bloke itself was first attested in written sources in 1230 as Oblach (and as Oblukch in 1260, Oblakh in 1360, and Obloc in 1581). These early transcriptions indicate that the name was originally *Obloke, probably derived from the prepositional phrase *ob(ь) lǫky or *ob(ь) lǫkaxъ 'next to the flood-meadow(s)'. Less likely theories connect the name to the meanings 'next to rough terrain' or 'arc, arch'.[3]
Church
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and belongs to the Parish of Bloke.[4]
Cultural heritage
A stone bridge over Bloščica Creek northwest of the center of Velike Bloke is known as the Napoleon Bridge (Template:Langx) and is registered as cultural heritage.[5] However, it was built in 1858 and has no connection to Napoleon; the reason for its name is unknown.[6]
