Name

Like similar names (e.g., Kamnik, Kamenik, Kamnje, Kamno, etc.), the name Kamnjek is ultimately derived from the Slavic common noun *kamy (accusative: *kamenь) 'stone', referring to the local geography. In the past the German name was Kamnik.

History

Kamnjek was merged with the village of Letenice in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
