Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Peter pri Loki (literally, 'Saint Peter near Loka') to Obrežje pri Zidanem Mostu (literally, 'river bank near Zidani Most') 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]
