Goropeke ({{IPA|sl|ɡɔɾɔˈpeːkɛ|pron}}; {{langx|de|Ariopek}}Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru, vol. 6: Kranjsko. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 126.) is a small settlement on a hill immediately south of Žiri in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[http://www.ziri.si Žiri municipal site]

Name

Goropeke was attested in written sources as Ragopetsch in 1291 and Gorapetzi in 1500.{{cite web |title=Goropeke |url=https://topografija.zrc-sazu.si/ |website=Slovenska historična topografija |publisher=ZRC SAZU Zgodovinski inštitut Milka Kosa |access-date=September 28, 2021}} The original name has been reconstructed as *Rogopeke, an accusative plural of the common noun compound *rogopek (< rog 'mountain, elevation' + peči 'to bake, heat'), thus referring to a sun-exposed location on a hill—which corresponds to the location of the village on the south flank of Goropeke Hill ({{langx|sl|Goropeški grič}}).{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=146}}
