Vinharje (pronounced [ˈʋiːŋxaɾjɛ]) is a settlement in the hills south of Poljane nad Škofjo Loko in the Municipality of Gorenja Vas–Poljane in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
Vinharje was attested in historical sources in 1291 as aput Indicherios, in 1318 as aput Inticherios, in 1453 as Indichern, and in 1500 as Inticharen.[3][4] The name is a fused prepositional phrase, from v 'in' + Inharje. The name is derived from German Innicher 'person from Innichen', borrowed into Slovene as *Inihar (contracted to *Inhar) and referring to colonists from South Tyrol that settled the area.[4]
