Name The name Hotenjske Žibrše means 'Žibrše in the Hotedršica direction'. The name Hotenjske Žibrše was used to distinguish the settlement from neighboring Blekovske Žibrše (i.e., 'Žibrše in the Blekova Vas direction') and Logaške Žibrše ('Žibrše in the Logatec direction'), as well as Rovtarske Žibrše ('Žibrše in the Rovte direction') to the north. The name Žibrše itself is derived from the Middle High German personal name Sîvrid 'Siegfried', referring to an early inhabitant of the place.
History Hotenjske Žibrše had a population of 23 (in four houses) in 1870, 20 (in four houses) in 1880, 22 (in four houses) in 1890, and nine (in two houses) in 1900. Together with Blekovske Žibrše and Logaške Žibrše, Hotenjske Žibrše was combined into a single village called Žibrše in 1955, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
