Name

The Slovene name of the settlement was originally Svinje (sometimes Svine).[4] The name was first attested in written sources in 1260 as Sweinz (and as Swinak in 1329, Zwinack in 1348, and Swein in 1439).[5][6] The name Svinje is believed to derive from the Slovene common noun svinja 'pig', referring to the fact that pigs were raised in the settlement.[5] An alternate theory suggests that the name was derived from So-vine 'group of vineyards'.[4] The name was changed from Svinje to Vinje pri Moravčah (evoking 'wine') as an ameliorative semantic change in 1955.[5][7] See also Sinja Gorica, Svino, and Zavino for similar names.

History

The ruins of Rožek Castle are located in the hamlet of Rožek. Rožek was a separate village until it was annexed by Vinje pri Moravčah in 1952.[8]
