While every house in Slovenia has a civic address, many houses also carry a household name. These names are how other people typically referred to that family. This house was originally known was the Srednji Stegnetovi. This house name was derived from the family that lived here as well as its position in the village to other Stegne households.
Stegne appears to be a last name that is primarily found in this village. There are household names that use the Stegne name in Zilje but they find their roots in Golek.
