Name

The name Tenetiše (a feminine plural noun) is derived from the earlier plural demonym *Tenetiščane, meaning 'residents of Tenetišče' (a neuter singular noun). This, in turn, is derived from the common noun *teneto or *tenetъ 'hunting net', and may refer to a hunting area where small game or birds were caught using nets.[5] Tenetiše was formerly a hamlet of Breg pri Litiji known as Gornja vas (literally, 'upper village').[6] Tenetiše was known as Tenetitsch in German.[3]
