Hotedršica includes the hamlets of Griče (in older sources: V Gričih, German: Am Hügel)[2] to the north, Koš to the east, and Čajna and Log to the south.
Hotedršica was first attested in written sources in 1421 as Kathedresicz (and in 1496 as Kathedersicz). The name is a syncopated form of *Hotedražica, derived from the personal name *Xotědragъ (from *xotěti 'to desire' + *dorgъ 'good').[4][5]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Ljubljana Archdiocese.[6]
