Name
The name Strnišče is based on the older German name Sternthal[4] and appeared in print by 1895.[5] The traditional Slovene name for the settlement was Prelogi.[6][7][8] Davorin Žunkovič derives the name Sternthal from Sterenstall 'wether pen' (cf. MHG stër(e) 'wether'), referring to sheep that were formerly kept there.[4]
