Parecag (pronounced [paɾɛˈtsaːk]; Italian: Parezzago) is a settlement next to Sečovlje in the Municipality of Piran in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[2] Most of the Sečovlje saltworks lies in the area of Parecag.[3]
Parecag was attested in written sources in 1257 as Padriçagi, and in 1294 as Pareçagum and Padrecagum. The Slovenian name Parecag is borrowed from Italian Parezzago, which developed from Latin *Patriciācum, based on the personal name Patricius. Etymologically, the name means 'property owned by Patricius'.[4]
