Origin of the name of the river Cetina main spring
Goran Rnjak
Abstract
The river Cetina springs beneath mountain Dinara in the village Cetina, which is situated in the northern part of the Cetina polje. Many geographers, geologists, hydrologists, travel writers, historians, mountaineers and other experts, as well as other passers-by have written about the river Cetina and its springs. If one examines the available written traces and topographic maps, one finds various names for the springs. Although the toponym Milaševo jezero (Vrelo Cetine) is given on the current topographic maps for the name of the main spring, the names Milaševo vrelo, Veliko vrelo, Veliko vrilo and Glavaš are also in circulation. The speleological merger of the
main spring of the Cetina with the Gospodska cave has caused a debate about its name. The aim of this review is to give a clearer picture of the use of these toponyms and to encourage the study of this topic, especially by geographers.
