The name Zgornja Draga literally means 'upper Draga', distinguishing the settlement from neighboring Spodnja Draga (literally, 'lower Draga'). The name is derived from the Slovene common noun draga 'small, narrow valley', referring to the geographical location of the settlement.[3]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Martin and belongs to the Parish of Višnja Gora. It dates to the 12th century and has an 18th-century belfry.[4]
