Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Vrh (literally, 'holy peak') to Vrh nad Mokronogom (literally, 'peak above Mokronog') in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. The name Sveti Vrh was restored in 1992.[4][5][6] In the past the German name was Heiligenberg.[2]
