==Name== Šedem was attested in historical sources as Scheding in 1322, and as Schedeim and Schedun in 1342. Like related names such as Ščedem (), Šedina, and Škedenj (), the name Šedem developed from the present passive participle *ščędimъ 'being protected', probably in the sense of 'protected forest' (where cutting wood and hunting were not permitted).
