Šmihel pri Novem Mestu (pronounced as /sl/; Slovenian: Šmihel pri Novem mestu) is a former village in southeastern Slovenia in the City Municipality of Novo Mesto. It was annexed by the city of Novo Mesto in 1979, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[1]
The name Šmihel is derived from *šent Mihael 'Saint Michael' (via *Šm̩mihel) and refers to the parish church in the settlement.[2] The name of the village was changed from Šmihel to Šmihel pri Novem mestu in 1952.[1]
