Gorenje (pronounced [ɡɔˈɾeːnjɛ]; German: Gorene[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the city of Kranj.[3]

## Geography

[edit]

Road marking between Gorenje and Primskovo

Gorenje is located northeast of Kranj's city center and the former village of Primskovo, above the left bank of the Kokra River.[1] The road from Kranj to Zgornje Jezersko runs through the village.[1][3]

## Name

[edit]

Gorenje was attested in written sources as Goreynach in 1385, Goreyne in 1458, and Gorenach in 1498.[4] The toponym Gorenje appears in various places in Slovenia and may be singular or plural (as in this case). As a plural, it may originate from an ellipsis of the neuter singular *Gorenje selo (literally, 'upper village') that was reanalyzed as a feminine plural, or it may derive from the accusative form (in -e) of the masculine adjective gorenji 'upper', referring to people living in such a location, also reanalyzed as a feminine plural. In either case, the name refers to a settlement at a relatively higher location.[5] Gorenje stands upriver from neighboring Primskovo and is 4 meters (13 ft) higher in elevation.

## History

[edit]

Gorenje had a population of 112 in 21 houses in 1870,[2] 104 in 21 houses in 1880,[6] 83 in 20 houses in 1900,[7] and 100 in 20 houses in 1931.[1] Gorenje was annexed by the city of Kranj in 1957, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[8][9]
