Sankt Margarethen
The settlement of Šmarjetna Gora and the hill were both named after the church at the top of the hill, which is dedicated to Saint Margaret (). The name "Šmarjetna Gora" literally means 'Saint Margaret's mountain'. The adjective form "Šmarjetna" developed through contraction of the informal name of the saint: "*" &gt; "*" &gt; "*" &gt; "". In the past the German name was "Sankt Margarethen".
