Name
The settlement was formerly called Male Bloke (literally, 'little Bloke'), distinguishing it from Velike Bloke (literally, 'big Bloke'). The Bloke parish church was built in the settlement and the name Fara (literally, 'parish') became the name of the settlement.[2]
Church
The parish church in the village is dedicated to Saint Michael and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ljubljana. It has been an independent parish since at least the 14th century.[3]
