Žiče (pronounced [ˈʒiːtʃɛ]; German: Schitsche[2]) is a small village east of Radomlje in the Municipality of Domžale in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

[3] Žiče was attested in written sources in 1341 as Seycz (and as Seitz in 1327 and Seytz in 1380).

The name is derived from the plural demonym *Zitъčane or *Žiťane, based on the hypocorism *Žitъko or *Žitъ, referring to an early inhabitant of the place.

[4] In the past it was known as Schitsche in German.
