==Name== The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Jurij pod Kumom (literally, 'Saint George below Mount Kum') to Podkum (literally, 'below Mount Kum') in 1952. 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. In the past the German name was Sankt Georgen.
