Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Svetega Petra Hrib (literally, 'Saint Peter’s hill') to Hrib pri Zmincu (literally, 'hill near Zminec') in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. The name Svetega Petra Hrib was restored in 1994. In the past the German name was Sankt Peter im Gebirge.
