==Name== Troščine was first mentioned in written sources as Drvssein in 1296 (and as Troschein in 1402, Troschin in 1608, Troſhzina in 1689, and Troſhzhine in 1720). The name is believed to derive from the Slovene common noun 'official responsible for the table' (from Old High German *), thus meaning 'settlement where an official lives'. Locally, Troščine is known as Špaja vas, whereas the name Troščine refers to the entire area (including Dolenja Vas pri Polici, Gorenja Vas pri Polici, and Mali Konec). The name Špaja vas was first attested in written sources in 1710 as (and as in 1720 and in 1780). This can be derived from *Županja vas '(local) leader's village', semantically agreeing with the origin of the name Troščine. In the past the German name was Troschein.
