Sveti Jernej (pronounced [ˈsʋeːti ˈjɛːɾnɛi̯]) is a village in the Municipality of Slovenske Konjice in eastern Slovenia.

[2] The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Jernej pri Ločah (literally, 'Saint Bartholomew near Loče') to Jernej pri Ločah (literally, 'Bartholomew near Loče') in 1955.

The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.

[6] The parish church from which the settlement gets its name is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew (Slovene: sveti Jernej).
