'''Grosuplje''' ({{IPA|sl|ɡɾɔˈsùːpljɛ|pron|Sl-Grosuplje.oga}};<ref>{{cite web|title=Slovenski pravopis 2001: Grosuplje|url=http://bos.zrc-sazu.si/c/SP/neva.exe?name=sp&expression=grosuplje&hs=1}}</ref> {{langx|de|Großlupp}})<ref name="Leksikon">''Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru,'' vol. 6: ''Kranjsko''. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 108.</ref> is a town in central [Slovenia](/source/Slovenia), in the northwest of the traditional region of [Lower Carniola](/source/Lower_Carniola). It is the seat of the [Municipality of Grosuplje](/source/Municipality_of_Grosuplje) and is part of the [Central Slovenia Statistical Region](/source/Central_Slovenia_Statistical_Region).<ref>[http://www.grosuplje.si Grosuplje municipal site]</ref> It has close ties to the nearby capital, [Ljubljana](/source/Ljubljana).

==Name==
Grosuplje was first attested in written sources in 1136 as ''Groslupp'' (and as ''Grasslupp'' in 1220–50, and ''Grazlup'' in 1249). The settlement is known as ''Grasuple'' in the local dialect. The etymological origin of the name is unclear. One theory derives it from ''*Graslupoje (selo/poľe)''—literally, 'wet (village/field)', from the adjective ''*graslupъ''. Another theory derives the name from [Lombard](/source/Lombard_language) ''*grass(ah)lauffja'' 'rapids' but is undermined by the lack of fast-flowing water in the area. Yet another theory derives it from the hypothetical Lombard name ''*Graslupus'' borrowed into Slavic as ''*Groslupъ'', whereby ''*Groslupľe selo'' would literally mean 'Groslupъ's village'.<ref>Snoj, Marko. 2009. ''Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen''. Ljubljana: Modrijan and Založba ZRC, pp. 155–156.</ref> In the past the German name was ''Großlupp''.<ref name="Leksikon"/>
