==Name== The name of the settlement was changed from Tabor to Tabor nad Knežakom in 1955. The name was changed again to Šilentabor in 2000. The name originates from the time of Turkish invasions, when it was used as a shelter from Turkish soldiers. At that time, tabor meant 'shelter' and the word silen used to mean 'strong'. There are also some unofficial names, such as Šilentabor nad Zagorjem.
