Name

Smlednik was attested in written sources in 1136 as ''Fledinich'' (and as ''Vlednich'' in 1214 and ''Vlednic'' in 1228). The origin of the name is unclear. A possible derivation is from the common noun ' hog's fennel', referring to the local vegetation. Other explanations include the obsolete Slovene common noun 'watchpost', or the root ''*mlědъ'' 'deciduous woods' or 'sparse woods', but neither of these is linguistically convincing. In the past the German name was ''Flödnig''.
