Knape (pronounced [ˈknaːpɛ], German: Knapou[2][3]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Škofja Loka in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
The name Knape is derived from the Slovene noun knap 'miner',[4][5] a borrowing from Old High German knappe 'boy, squire, servant'.[6] Iron ore was formerly mined in the Jablenovica Valley east of the village.[4][5]
