Bač (pronounced [ˈbatʃ]; Italian: Baccia) is a village northeast of Knežak in the Municipality of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]

Name

The name Bač is related to the Slovene common noun beč '(stone- or wood-lined) hollow with a spring' (< *bъťъ), referring to a local geographical feature. The Slavic word *bъťъ was borrowed from Latin buttis 'barrel' and is also the origin of the Slovene toponyms Beč and Buč.[3]

Church

The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Parish of Knežak.[4]
