Name

The settlement was first attested in written sources in 1261 as Razwor (and as Rasbor and Razbor in 1395, Rasmar in 1436, and Rasbar in 1444). The name of the settlement was originally *Razor, from the Slovene common noun razor 'dead furrow' (cf. also Razori). The name later diphthongized to (genitive) *Razu̯or(a), followed by the change -zu̯- > -zg-, which is also found in western Slovene dialects.[4]

History

The area was already settled in antiquity, as indicated by the discovery of a prehistoric iron one-sided winged ax. Before the Second World War, the settlement was a hamlet of Žabljek. During the war, ten Partisans were killed during while destroying the nearby railroad.[3]
