==Name== The settlement was first attested in written sources in 1484 as Szekiritza, and in 1485 as Szekiricza. The name Sekirišče is derived from the Slavic nickname Sěkyra (related also to the place names Sekirn in Austria, Sekeřice in the Czech Republic, etc.). The name is unlikely to refer to a place cleared by an ax (), as sometimes suggested.
