I am interested in the name Maribor. A Slovenian historian (who is, by the way, quite nationalistically minded) once told me that the town in question was called Marpurg by Slovenians until 1918 and that it was in the interwar period that the more Slavic sounding name Maribor was invented. I am just referring what he told, don't have any clue whether it's true.
