Petarch

Petarch ( _bg. Петърч) is a village in Kostinbrod municipality, Sofia Province, located in western Bulgaria approximately 5 km south-west of the town of Kostinbrod. In the centre there is a monument, several pubs and a computer club. There exist an Orthodox church and a school. There are several buses to Kostinbrod and Sofia.

Petarch was first mentioned as "Bedriç" in an Ottoman record of 1448, later as "Bedric" in 1520, "Petreiç" in 1574, "Petriç" in 1728, "Petriçe" in 1519, 1574 and 1649. In the 17th-century Boyana Screed, it was listed as ПЄТРЪЧЪ. The official name was "Petrich" until 1934, when it was renamed to the current form. The toponym is derived from the personal name Peter (Bulgarian "Petar", Петър). [cite book|last=Чолева-Димитрова|first=Анна М.|title=Селищни имена от Югозападна България: Изследване.
