Name

The name Koroška vas na Pohorju literally means 'Carinthian village in Pohorje'. The name refers to a settlement that was colonized by arrivals from Carinthia in the Middle Ages. Until 1998, the name was simply Koroška vas.[3] See also Koroška Vas and Koroška Bela for similar names outside Carinthia.[4]
