Name


The name of the settlement was first attested circa 1200 as in sancto Passo (and as Sand Pass in 1485 and Sannd Pass in 1523). The Slovene name is derived from šent Pas, referring to either Saint Bassus of Lucera or Saint Bassus of Nice, to whom the parish church was formerly dedicated.[5]


Church


The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Sylvester and belongs to the Diocese of Koper.[6]
