Dekani (; ) is a settlement in the City Municipality of Koper in the Littoral region of Slovenia.
==Name== Dekani was first attested in written sources in 1328 as Decani (and in 1423 as Villae Canis). The name is derived from the noble family de Cani. Locally, the name was misunderstood as derived from Italian cane 'dog', leading to the local designation Pasja vas (literally, 'dog village'), the demonym Pesjan, and the associated adjective pesjanski. Another theory, according to Salvator Žitko of the University of Koper, is that the settlement got its name after its owner, the Albanian nobleman Giovanni Dukagjini, in 1480 based on the Venetian archives of the city of Koper.
