'upper Gameljne' and Spodnje Gameljne 'lower Gameljne'. The settlement was attested in written sources in 1260 as ''Gemlein'' (and as ''Gemleyn'' in 1295, ''Gaͤmelein'' in 1338, and ''von Mitteren Gamling'' in 1450). The name developed via dialect pronunciation from the older form ''*Gamljine''—also a plural, probably reflecting the fact that there have been three such settlements since at least the mid-15th century. The name is probably based on a form such as ''*Gamľa (vьsь)'' 'Gamъ's (village)', referring to some early inhabitant of the place.
