Name Gora pri Pečah was attested in historical sources as Perg in 1444. The name of the settlement was changed from Gora svetega Florjana (literally, 'Mount Saint Florian') to Gora pri Pečah (literally, 'mountain near Peče') in 1955.Spremembe naselij 1948–95. 1996.

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.Premk, F. 2004.
