Sestranska Vas was attested in Latin in 1291 as in Polan ex altera parte aque 'on the other side of the water in [the Parish of] Poljane',[4] and in German in the 18th century as Schwesterdorf (literally, 'sister village').[5][6] The name Sestranska Vas is related to the frequent Slovenian toponym Stranska vas (literally, 'side village'), and it either refers to a place of secondary importance in comparison to a nearby larger and older settlement[4] or indicates its location on the (other) side of the river.[7]

History

Sestranska Vas was annexed by the town of Gorenja Vas in 1953, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[8]
