poboljana

Poboljana is a toponym used in several South Slavic regions. The name derives from the prefix po- meaning "by" or "near" and poljana meaning "field" or "meadow," yielding the sense "by the field." As a place name it typically denotes small rural settlements or hamlets adjacent to fields.

There is no single internationally prominent town or city named Poboljana. In the Balkans, variants of the form appear in local gazetteers as names for minor settlements within larger municipalities. Because such places are small, population figures and administrative details are usually documented only in national or regional records and may be unavailable in global datasets.

Linguistically, Poboljana is related to other toponyms formed from po- and poljana, such as Poljana, with regional spellings reflecting local languages and orthography. The toponymic pattern is widespread across Slavic-speaking areas and reflects a descriptive naming convention tied to landscape features.

Notable uses of the exact toponym Poboljana are primarily local and of limited international prominence. When referenced, Poboljana typically refers to a small rural locale rather than an independent municipality.
