Name The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Anton na Pohorju (literally, 'Saint Anthony in the Pohorje Hills') to Planina (literally, 'alpine pasture') 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. The name Sveti Anton na Pohorju was restored in 1993.Spremembe naselij 1948–95. 1996. Database. Ljubljana: Geografski inštitut ZRC SAZU, DZS.Premk, F. 2004.
