==Name== Spuhlja was attested in written sources in 1294 as ze Puhel (and as Puͤhel in 1299 and Puhel in 1320). The name comes from the Bavarian Middle High German prepositional phrase ze puhel 'at the hill' (cf. MHG büchel 'hill'), referring to the local terrain. For similar Slovene geographical names based on foreign-language prepositional phrases of location, compare Cmurek, Crngrob, Cven, Dragonja, and Sostro.
