==Name== In older sources, the name of the town appears as Sveti Jurij ob Južni Železnici (literally, 'Saint George on the Southern Railway'), referring to its location along the Austrian Southern Railway from 1846 onward. The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Jurij pri Celju (literally, 'Saint George near Celje') to Šentjur pri Celju in 1952. The town was renamed again from Šentjur pri Celju to Šentjur in 1990.
