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 originally had the name of Kovači. It is plausible to assume that the patriarch at this house was once a blacksmith. With the succession of patriarchs being Jurij, this family was later known as the Jureči.
