Name The name Spodnja Velka literally means 'lower Velka', contrasting with neighboring Zgornja Velka (literally, 'upper Velka'), which lies about higher in elevation. The two settlements were attested in written sources as Welich in 1319, Welik in 1324, and Weliken in 1360. The toponym is derived from a hydronym, *Velika (voda/reka) 'big (creek/river)', referring to Velka Creek, a left tributary of the Pesnica River.
