The name Gornje Retje literally means 'upper Retje', distinguishing the village from neighboring Dolnje Retje (literally, 'lower Retje'). The name Retje (like the related name Retnje) is derived from the plural demonym *Vrětьjane, based on the common noun *vertьje, referring to a higher dry area in a damp or swampy area.[4]
