Bukovica is a common toponym and oronym in Slovenia. It is derived from the adjective bukov 'beech' (from bukev 'beech tree') and originally referred to the local vegetation.[5] In the past the German name was Bukowitz.[2]
The local church is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Parish of Šentvid pri Stični. It dates to the 15th century with some 17th-century remodeling.[6]
