Name

The name Koroška vas literally means 'Carinthian village'. It was attested in written sources in 1485 as Koroschndorf vnder Meichaw. The name refers to a settlement that was colonized by arrivals from Carinthia in the Middle Ages. See also Koroška Vas na Pohorju and Koroška Bela for similar names outside Carinthia.[3]
