Zgornji Porčič
Zgornji Porčič () is a settlement in the Municipality of Sveta Trojica v Slovenskih Goricah in northeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included in the Drava Statistical Region. Name. The name "Zgornji Porčič" literally means 'upper Porčič', differentiating the settlement from neighboring Spodnji Porčič (literally, 'lower Porčič') and "Stari Porčič" (literally, 'old Porčič', a hamlet of Zgornji Porčič). The name "Porčič" was first attested in written sources in 1338 as "Purchstal" (and as "Purkstal" in 1419, "Purckstall" and "Purgstal" in 1445, and "Purgstoll" and "Burgstall" in 1763–87). The name is  believed to derive from Middle High German "burcstal" (cf. modern German "Burgstall"), meaning '(elevated) fortification'. This may refer to a manor owned by the Stubenberg noble family that formerly stood in Spodnji Porčič, or to prehistoric fortifications. The Slovenian name "Porčič" may be derived from the German name as a diminutized hypocorism ("Purg-" > "*Porgec" > "*Porgčič" > "Porčič"). Religious heritage. A Neo-Gothic chapel in the village was built in the second half of the 19th century.
