Truške is a village in the Municipality of Koper in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[2]
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Kortina (from Italian corte 'manor')[3] to Truške in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia’s postwar communist government to remove Italian elements from toponyms.[4][5]
Church
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Cantianius.[6]
