Vinje Pri Moravčah
Name
The Slovene name of the settlement was originally Svinje (sometimes Svine). The name was first attested in written sources in 1260 as Sweinz (and as Swinak in 1329, Zwinack in 1348, and Swein in 1439). 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. An alternate theory suggests that the name was derived from So-vine 'group of vineyards'. The name was changed from Svinje to Vinje pri Moravčah (evoking 'wine') as an ameliorative semantic change in 1955. 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.
