Spodnje Pirniče
Spodnje Pirniče is a village on the left bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Medvode in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.Name
Spodnje Pirniče and neighboring Zgornje Pirniče were attested in written sources in 1392 as Pernekk. The original form of the name may be reconstructed as the plural demonym *Pyrьničane, ultimately derived from the common noun *pyro 'spelt', referring to a local cultivar and meaning 'people living where spelt is grown'. Another possibility is that the name developed from a plural demonym derived from the Old High German name Bernhard or the Middle High German name Pernhart.Church
The local church is dedicated to the Feast of the Holy Cross.
