Name
Name
The settlement was first mentioned in written sources in 1680 under name Videm (borrowed from Middle High German videme 'church property'—originally, 'property left by the deceased to the church'). The settlement was known as Videm ob Ščavnici (literally, 'church property on the Ščavnica River') until 1997. Mistakenly assuming that the name had been changed from a religious name under communist Yugoslavia, the municipal authorities changed it to match the parish name Sveti Jurij ob Ščavnici (literally, 'Saint George on the Ščavnica River') on January 22, 1997.
