Name
Zgoša was first attested in written sources as Guscha in 1075 (and as Goscha in 1085, Sgusch in 1394, and Zguoch in 1406). The name derives from *Zgošča, created from a nominalized possessive adjective based on the personal name *Zgost. The name is believed to originally be a hydronym, *Zgošča (reka/voda) (literally, 'river/creek where Zgost lives'), shortened through ellipsis and the Upper Carniolan phonological development-šč- > -š-. Zgoša Creek, which flows through the settlement, is also referred to as Begunščica Creek today.[2]
