The name of the settlement was changed from ''Žeje'' to ''Žeje pri Komendi'' in 1955.''Spremembe naselij 1948–95''. 1996. Database. Ljubljana: Geografski inštitut ZRC SAZU, DZS. The name was first attested in written sources in 1322 as ''Seyach'' (and as ''Seach'' in 1348). The name is derived from the plural [[demonym]] ''*Žežane'', from the verb ''*žeťi'' 'to burn'. The change ''*Žež-'' > ''*Žej-'' is a result of [[dissimilation]]. The name refers to people living on burned-over ground. A second possibility is that the name may be derived from some unknown noun related to Slovene ''žeja'' 'thirst', referring to an intermittent spring or dry soil.Snoj, Marko. 2009. ''Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen''. Ljubljana: Modrijan and Založba ZRC, p. 487. The settlement was known as ''Scheje'' in German in the past. |
