Terchová () is a large village and municipality (population 4,073) in the Malá Fatra mountains in the Žilina District in the Žilina Region of northern Slovakia.
==Names and etymology== In the 16th century, the village was known as Kralowa alias Tyerchowa (1598). The name Kralowa means 'royal' in Slovak and refers to royal meadows. The name Tyerchowa comes from the Hungarian noun terhe 'burden', which was borrowed into Slovak before the 12th century as tärcha > ťarcha, and later also as tercha with the Slovak possessive suffix -ova. It refers to legal obligations of the citizens.
