Name

Tomišelj was attested in written records in 1397 and 1436 as Domischel (and as Thomuschl in 1415 and Tomischel in 1468). The name was nominalized from an adjective form of a hypocorism, which would have been *Tomisel, and the name therefore means 'Tomisel's village'. In the past the German name was Tomischl.

Church

The local parish church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ljubljana. It was built by Gregor Maček, Sr., at the initiative of Mihael Omersa from 1720 until 1724 on the site of a small predecessor church, where the oldest votive deposit dated to 1519 according to an old urbarium.
