Juršče
Juršče (, formerly ''Jurišče'', in older sources ''Juršiče'', german: Jurschitz) is a village east of Pivka in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. Name Juršče was first mentioned in written sources as ''Jurshiz'' and ''Jurschiz'' in 1763–87. The name (a feminine plural) is derived from ''*Jurišiči'', a plural form of the patronymic ''*Jurišič'', based on the personal name ''Juriša''. The name ''Juriša'' is derived from ''Jurij'' 'George', which also coincidentally matches the patron saint of the village church. However, there is no direct connection between the village name and the church name. The village was officially named ''Jurišče'' until 2007, when the name was changed to ''Juršče''.

Name The name of the settlement was changed from ''Tabor'' to ''Tabor nad Knežakom'' in 1955. The name was changed again to ''Šilentabor'' in 2000.

Neverke
Neverke () is a village west of Pivka in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. Name Neverke was attested in written sources in 1763–67 as ''Na Verscze'', ''Navershze'', and ''Versecz''. The 18th-century transcriptions of the name indicate that they are a distorted form of the fused prepositional phrase ''*na Vršce'' 'on the small peak', whereas today's form of the name may be derived via Italian from the phrase ''*na Vrhe'' 'on the peak'. In both cases, the likely references is Vrhe Hill () immediately east of the village.
