Name
The name of the settlement was changed from ''Znojile'' to ''Znojile pri Krki'' (literally, 'Znojile near Krka') in 1953. The name ''Znojile'' is derived from ''*znoji(d)lo'' 'sunny or sun-facing area' from the verb ''*znojiti'' 'to be warmed by the sun'. The name therefore refers to the geographical orientation of the place.
