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 carries the name of Gornji Mravinci. This name is derived from the surname of the family that originally inhabited this house. The Gornji designation is used to differentiate this house from the Dolnji Mravinci of Perudina 5. It is likely related either to the age of the house or the elevation relative to the other house.
Through the period of our studies, we have found three distinct houses which originally carried the Mravinec surname in Perudina. This is the first of the three houses (in order of house address).
The oldest record we have found to date for a person from this house is for Peter Mravinec b. 1783. He married Ana Lesica b. 1794. Together, they had at least 7 children, including:
