Name
Name
Godič was first attested in written sources in 1426 as Goditsch (and as Godicz in 1447). The name is derived from the plural form *Godiči, from the patronymic Godič based on a name such as *Godislavъ, *Godimirъ, etc. The name thus means 'place where Godič and his people live.' In the past the German name was Goditsch.
