Name


The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Duh (literally, 'Holy Spirit') to Krajič 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 connotations from toponyms. The name Sveti Duh was restored in 1989.[4][5][6]
