==Name== The name of the settlement was changed from Vumpah to Vurberk in 1982. The Slovene name Vumpah is derived from German Wurmbach and was first attested as such in 1496. The Slovene name Vurberk originally referred to the castle above the village and is derived from German Wurmberg. Vurberk Castle, destroyed in 1945, was first mentioned in 1244 as Wuermwerg.
