text: # Sidraž
  
  Sidraž (pronounced) is a settlement in the Municipality of Cerklje na Gorenjskem in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
  
  ## Geography
  
  Sidraž is a hill settlement in a shady location east of Šenturška Gora on a saddle between Doblič and Tunjščica creeks. The soil is loamy and there is a spring near the village.
  
  ## Name
  
  Sidraž was mentioned in historical sources in 1421 as Schydrachs (and as Sidras in 1449, Sydrasch in 1458, and Schidrass in 1475). The name is of unclear origin. A proposed derivation from *suhi draž is very unlikely for phonological reasons, and the village name is more likely based on a truncated personal name.
