Stara Vrhnika was attested in Latin church records as ''ex superiore Verchnik'', and as ''Alt Oberlaibach oder Gorena Verchnik'' between 1764 and 1783. The village was originally called ''Gornja Vrhnika'' or ''Zgornja Vrhnika'' (literally, 'upper Vrhnika') in Slovene, referring to its position about 30 meters above neighboring Vrhnika. With the arrival of the German-speaking Habsburgs, Vrhnika became known as ''Oberlaibach'' (literally, 'upper Ljubljana'), which would have made the German designation for Stara Vrhnika the semantically awkward ''Ober-Oberlaibach''.

Sinja Gorica
Sinja Gorica (; german: Schweinbüchl''Intelligenzblatt zur Laibacher Zeitung'', no. 141. 24 November 1849, p. 68. or Schweinsbüchel, later ''Scheinbüchel'') is a settlement immediately northwest of Vrhnika in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.

The newer part, the hamlet of Sap, stands along the main road from Vrhnika to Ljubljana. Name Sinja Gorica was first mentioned in written sources in 1414 under the German name ''Sweinpuhel'' (literally, 'pig hill'), and as ''Sweinpůhel'' in 1418, ''Singa goriza'' in 1474, and ''Sweinpuhl'' in 1496.
