Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Štefan (literally, 'Saint Stephen') to Turje 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 parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Stephen and belongs to the Parish of Dol pri Hrastniku. [6]
