According to etymologist Tijmen Pronk, the name Ljubljana (along with the German Laibach and the Italian Lubiana) is derived from the sl sla-pro *ľubъ pleasant, sweet, love and the slavic ethnonymic suffix *-jan. Consequently, the original place name can be reconstructed as *Ljuba (“beloved place”), while the inhabitants were referred to as *Ljubljane. If you asked them where they lived, they would have responded with *v Ljubjah, which is a possible origin of the German name Laibach. Silvo Torkar suggests a connection to the old Slavic name en Ljubovid one of a lovely appearance, itself from the former. More at Ljubljana.
