Šturje (pronounced [ˈʃtuːɾjɛ]; in older sources also Sturja,[1][2][3] German: Sturia,[4] Italian: Sturie delle Fusine[5]) is a formerly independent settlement in the Municipality of Ajdovščina in southwestern Slovenia. It is now part of the town of Ajdovščina.[6] It is part of the traditional region of Inner Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Gorizia Statistical Region.

Geography[edit]

Šturje lies on the left bank of the Hubelj River, along the main road from Ajdovščina to Col.[6] It included the hamlets of Grivče, Fužine, and Trnje to the north.[2]

Name[edit]

Šturje was attested in written sources as Sand Jörigen supp. in 1499. The name is derived from *Š(en)t-Júrij 'Saint George', but its derivation is unclear. Its plural form could indicate that is based on a former demonym, *Š(en)t-(j)urijane 'people living near Saint George's Church', but it is more likely based on the old masculine locative *š(en)t (J)úrije 'at Saint George's Church', which was then reinterpreted as a feminine plural.[7]

History[edit]

Together with its appertaining hamlets, Šturje had a population of 572 people living in 109 houses in 1870,[1] 567 in 114 houses in 1880,[2] 586 in 119 houses in 1890,[4] and 556 in 120 houses in 1900.[3] Šturje was annexed by Ajdovščina in 1953, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[8]
