Bločice (, in older sources also Obločice, ) is a village east of Grahovo in the Municipality of Cerknica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.
==Name== Bločice was attested in written sources in 1397 as Oblaczicz, among other spellings. It is a diminutive of the regional name *Obloke (which developed into Bloke), which is probably derived from the prepositional phrase *ob(ь) lǫky or *ob(ь) lǫkaxъ 'next to the flood-meadow(s)'. Originally the name therefore means 'little Bloke' (cf. also Male Bloke, literally 'little Bloke', and Velike Bloke, literally 'big Bloke'). In the past it was known as Obločice in Slovene and Obloschitz in German.
