Name
The name Turški Vrh literally means 'Turk Peak'; the name is explained as either being connected with Ottoman raids that occurred in the area[4] or with a folk tradition that a Turkish midwife is buried behind a shrine at house number 20 in the village.[5] Locally the village is known as Turski Vrh.[5]
Church
The local church on a hill in the south of the settlement, right on the border with Croatia, is dedicated to Saints Hermagoras and Fortunatus and belongs to the Parish of Zavrč. It dates to the second half of the 17th century.[6]
