Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Anton (literally, 'Saint Anthony') to Pridvor in 1958. 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 Sveti Anton was restored in 1992.
Church
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anthony and the settlement also gets its name from it.
