Gornji Lakoš (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈɡoːɾnji ˈlaːkɔʃ/; Hungarian: Felsőlakos) is a village southwest of Lendava in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia.[2]
The name Gornji Lakoš literally means 'upper Lakoš', contrasting with neighboring Dolnji Lakoš (literally, 'lower Lakoš'), which is about 1m (03feet) lower in elevation. The Hungarian name Felsőlakos semantically corresponds to the Slovene name and also means 'upper Lakoš'.
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Stephen and belongs to the Parish of Lendava.[3]
