     During the Middle ages Lepetane was called “The Place of Saint Lovrienec” for the church which existed there and which is connected to a legend of three brothers - saints: Andria, Peter and Lovrienec.
     “Lepetane” got its current name by the nicknames of some Perast families (“Lepetanus”) which owned land in this area.
