Name

Preska was attested in historical sources as Gehag in 1397, Ghag in 1425, Kag and Presekch in 1447, and Pressek in 1507.[3] The name is derived from the common noun presika (standardized as preseka) 'cleared area through the woods' and 'hedge; drainage ditch; cross-valley', referring to a feature that divides the terrain into two parts.[4] The name of the settlement was changed from Preska to Preska pri Dobrniču in 1953.[5]
