Name
editThe name Gmajnica is a diminutive of the common noun gmajna 'commons', referring to land that was jointly owned and used by the village community. The noun gmajna is a borrowing from Middle High German gemeine, with the same meaning, and it is found in other Slovene toponyms such as Gmajna near Krško.[2]
