Name

The name Gorenji Podšumberk means 'upper Podšumberk', differentiating the village from neighboring Dolenji Podšumberk ('lower Podšumberk'), which stands about 40 meters (130 ft) lower in elevation. The two villages were attested in historical sources as Gebuuicz in 1424, Gewobicz in 1440, and Jebabicz in 1463, among other spellings.[4]
