It belongs to the [Šentvid District](/source/%C5%A0entvid_District) of the [City Municipality of Ljubljana](/source/City_Municipality_of_Ljubljana). It is part of the traditional region of [Upper Carniola](/source/Upper_Carniola) and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the [Central Slovenia Statistical Region](/source/Central_Slovenia_Statistical_Region). ==Name== Gunclje was first attested in written sources in 1430 as ''Güntzleinsdorff'', and later as ''zu Güntzlach'' in 1438 and ''Künczlach'' in 1455 (both based on the Slovene [locative](/source/Locative_case) plural) and ''Güntzla'' (in 1449), among other spellings.{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=156}}{{cite web |title=Gunclje |url=https://topografija.zrc-sazu.si/ |website=Slovenska historična topografija |publisher=ZRC SAZU Zgodovinski inštitut Milka Kosa |access-date=December 4, 2020}} The name ''Gunclje'' is derived from the Slavic personal name ''*Guncelj'' (derived in turn from [Old High German](/source/Old_High_German) ''Gunzelîn'', a diminutive of ''Gunzo''), and likely refers to an early inhabitant of the place. ==History== Gunclje was annexed by [Šentvid](/source/%C5%A0entvid_(Ljubljana)) in 1961, ending its existence as a separate settlement. In 1974, Šentvid, together with Gunclje, was annexed by Ljubljana.{{cite book |last1=Marinković |first1=Dragan |title=Abecedni spisak naselja u SFRJ.
