Lovćen (Cyrillic: Ловћен, pronounced [lôːʋtɕen]) is a mountain and national park in southwestern Montenegro.
It is the inspiration behind the names Montenegro and Crna Gora, both of which mean “Black Mountain” and refer to the appearance of Mount Lovćen when covered in dense forests.
The name Crna Gora was first mentioned in a charter issued by Stefan Milutin in 1276. and was used for several regions across medieval Serbian lands, including Skopska Crna Gora and Užička Crna Gora
