Modrej (pronounced [mɔˈdɾeːi̯]; in older sources also Modreja) is a settlement on the left bank of the Soča River, just north of Most na Soči, in the Municipality of Tolmin in the Littoral region of Slovenia.

Name

Modrej was attested in historical sources as Modrea in 1377. The name is believed to be derived from the nickname *Modrějь, formed from the anthroponym *Modrъ, based on the color adjective *modrъ 'blue'. It is unlikely that the name is derived from the adjective *mǫdrъ 'wise'.
