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 and Stari Porčič. The name Porčič was first attested in written sources in 1338 as Purchstal. The name is believed to derive from Middle High German burcstal, meaning ' 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.Religious heritage
A Neo-Gothic chapel in the village was built in the second half of the 19th century.
