Name

The plural name Vinice (as well as the singular Vinica) likely derives from a forgotten meaning of the common noun vinica (now 'wine cellar'), probably referring to an area with vineyards (cf. Polish winnica 'vineyard').{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |pages=455–456}}
