The Soča ( in Slovene) or Isonzo (in Italian) (other names , archaic (ドイツ語:Sontig), (ラテン語:Aesontius'' or ''Isontius)) is a long river that flows through western Slovenia () and northeastern Italy (). An Alpine river in character, its source lies in the Trenta Valley in the Julian Alps in northwestern Slovenia, at an elevation of .〔 The river runs past the towns of Bovec, Kobarid, Tolmin, Kanal ob Soči, Nova Gorica (where it is crossed by the Solkan Bridge), and Gorizia, entering the Adriatic Sea close to the town of Monfalcone. It has a nival-pluvial regime in its upper course and pluvial-nival in its lower course. Prior to the First World War the river formed part of the border between Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and during that conflict was the scene of bitter fighting between the two countries, culminating in the Battle of Caporetto in 1917. ==Name== The river was recorded in antiquity as ''Aesontius'', ''Sontius'', and ''Isontius''. Later attestations include ''super Sontium'' (in 507–11), ''a flumine Isontio'' (1028), ''in Lisonçum'' (1261), ''an die Ysnicz'' (1401), and ''an der Snicz'' (ca. 1440). The Slovene name ''Soča'' is derived from the form '' *Sǫťa'', which was borrowed from Latin (and Romance) ''Sontius''. In turn, this is probably based on the substrate name '' *Aisontia'', presumably derived from the PIE root '' *'' 'swift, rushing', referring to a quickly moving river. Another possible origin is the pre-Romance root '' *'' 'water, river'.〔Snoj, Marko. 2009. ''Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen''.
