Rodež (pronounced [ˈɾoːdɛʃ]; formerly Sveti Lenart,[2] German: Sankt Leonardi[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Zagorje ob Savi in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.[3] The village includes the hamlets of Klenovik and Boriče.[4]

The name Rodež is derived from the common noun *rodina 'uncultivated land, fallow land', referring to the local geography. It is etymologically related to toponyms such as Rodik, Rodine, and Rodni Vrh.[5]
