==Name== Sovra was attested in written sources as Zaevr in 1318, Sewre in 1453, and Soure in 1500, among other spellings. The name of the village is originally a hydronym, sharing its name with the Sovra River, as the Poljane Sora is known in its upper course. The name is derived from the common noun *ső̜vьra with the original meaning 'flashy stream' or 'confluence'.
