Name
Smlednik was attested in written sources in 1136 as Fledinich (and as Vlednich in 1214 and Vlednic in 1228). The origin of the name is unclear. A possible derivation is from the common noun smled 'hog's fennel', referring to the local vegetation. Other explanations include the obsolete Slovene common noun smled 'watchpost', or the root *mlědъ 'deciduous woods' or 'sparse woods', but neither of these is linguistically convincing. In the past the German name was Flödnig.
Church
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Ulrich (Slovene: Sveti Urh).
