Name
The name of the settlement was recorded as Schependorf in 1286, Scheffendorff in 1416, and Schephendorf and Schephndorf in 1454. The Slovene name developed from *Sodinja vas 'village belonging to a sodij (village judge)', which is also confirmed by the Middle High German equivalent with schep(f)e 'member of the judicial bench' who assisted the lord of the estate in judicial matters. The name of the settlement was changed from Sadinja vas to Sadinja vas pri Dvoru in 1955.
