It is about 20 kilometres southwest of the national capital Ljubljana. Borovnica was attested in written sources in 1260 as Vronitz. In the local dialect, the settlement is known as Barounica. The name is a univerbation of *Borovna, literally 'pine village' or 'pine creek'. The name therefore originally refers to a place or stream where pines grow. The early German name Vronitz is adapted from the Slovene name by shifting the stress to the first syllable and loss of the syllable -ov-.
