Primoži (; , Gottscheerish: Handlarə) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.
==Name== The German name Handlern—and the Slovene name Handlerji, based on it—are both plural forms, derived from a surname. The Slovene name of the settlement was changed from Handlerji (previously also Handlarji) to Primoži in 1953. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia’s postwar communist government to remove German elements from toponyms. The three villages of Primoži, Koče, and Mlaka pri Kočevski Reki were also referred to collectively in German as Fünfzehnhuben (literally, 'fifteen hides').
