Name
The name Zgornje Negonje means 'upper Negonje', distinguishing the village from neighboring Spodnje Negonje (literally, 'lower Negonje'), which lies at an elevation about 210 m lower. The name Negonje is probably a possessive form of the personal name *Negojinъ, elided from *Negojin'e (selo) 'Negojinъ's (village)', referring to an early inhabitant of the place.
