Gorenje (pronounced [ɡɔˈɾeːnjɛ]) is a small settlement in the Municipality of Lukovica in the eastern part of the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
Gorenje was attested in historical sources as Goreynach in 1385, Kôrench c. 1400, and Goreyne in 1458, among other spellings.[3] The name Gorenje is shared by several settlements in Slovenia. It arose through ellipsis of Gorenje selo (literally, 'upper village'), denoting the elevation of the place in relation to a neighboring settlement.[3] Gorenje stands about 87 meters (285 ft) higher than Suša, the nearest neighboring village.
