Name
The origin of the name Morje is unclear. It is not attested in historical sources and may be of substrate origin, possibly from the proto-Romance root *marra 'gravel; mountain stream'. Other possible origins include Slovene morje (usually 'sea' but here in the unattested sense of 'wetland, flooded area') or Old High German muor 'wetland'. In German the village was known as Mauerbach.
