Name

Imeno was attested in written sources in 1404 as in Inferiori Stadlern, in Superiori Stadlern (and as Nider Standlern, Ober Stadlern in 1444). The German name is derived from Middle High German stadel 'barn' and is not related to the Slovene name Imeno. The name Imeno is of unknown origin but could be derived from *Jьměnьno (selo) 'soldier's (village)', with the adjective derived from *jьměn- 'soldier'.^[6] In the past the German name of the settlement was Stadeldorf.^[2]
