Name

The settlement was historically attested under a variety of names: first as German Spizholz in 1257, and then as Latin in Silua (1313) and German auf dem Walde (1318). The Slovene name Gozd is semantically identical to the German and Latin names (meaning 'forest') and is derived from the common noun gozd 'forest'.[4] Locally, the settlement is known as Gojzd (adjective form gojški),[4] and the Gozd Pasture (Slovene: Gojška planina) on the Big Pasture Plateau (Velika planina) is named after the village.[5] In the past the German name was Goisd.[2]
