Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Matevž (literally, 'Saint Matthew') to Šmatevž in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. [3] [4] [5]

Church

The local church, from which the settlement gets its name, is dedicated to Saint Matthew and belongs to the Parish of Gomilsko. It was originally a Gothic building. The belfry dates to the 16th century. It was extended and restyled in the 17th and 19th centuries. [6]
