Spodnje Tenetiše (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈspoːdnjɛ tɛnɛˈtiːʃɛ/; German: Untertenetische[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Tenetiše.[3]
Spodnje Tenetiše stands in the southern part of the village of Tenetiše, where the road from Kranj splits to Goriče to the north and Trstenik to the northeast.[1] Stražnica Creek, a tributary of Mlinščica Creek, flows through the settlement.[1]
The name Spodnje Tenetiše literally means 'lower Tenetiše' and contrasts with neighboring Zgornje Tenetiše (literally, 'upper Tenetiše'). Spodnje Tenetiše stands 38m (125feet) lower in elevation than Zgornje Tenetiše.[1] Spodnje Tenetiše was attested in historical sources as Nider Tenetischz in 1374, Nider Tenetisch in 1375, and Nider Tenetischs in 1404, among other variations.[4] See Tenetiše for the etymology of the name.
Spodnje Tenetiše had a population of 70 in 13 houses in 1870,[5] 60 in 13 houses in 1880,[6] 71 in 14 houses in 1900,[2] and 85 in 13 houses in 1931.[1] Together with neighboring Zgornje Tenetiše, Spodnje Tenetiše was merged into a single village called Tenetiše in 1952, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[7] [8]
