Zgornje Tenetiše (pronounced [ˈzɡoːɾnjɛ tɛnɛˈtiːʃɛ]; German: Obertenetische[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Tenetiše.[3]

The name Zgornje Tenetiše literally means 'upper Tenetiše' and contrasts with neighboring Spodnje Tenetiše (literally, 'lower Tenetiše').

History
Zgornje Tenetiše had a population of 100 in 15 houses in 1870,[5] 71 in 15 houses in 1880,[6] 70 in 12 houses in 1900,[2] and 74 in 12 houses in 1931.[1] Together with neighboring Spodnje Tenetiše, Zgornje Tenetiše was merged into a single village called Tenetiše in 1952, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[7][8]
