The 1879 status animarum for the Preloka parish records the household name for this family at Zilje 1 as Špeliči. The current name also includes the name Pečovi, whose origin is unknown. However, since the family at Zilje 37 (an offshoot from this household) carries only the name Špeliči, the Pečovi name must have been added after the two households separated. Individuals from Zilje 1 will be referred to as Pečovi, only for the sake of simplicity.
