Name

Sign for Koritenska cesta (Koritno Street) in Bled

Koritno was attested in written sources circa 1065 as Corithna, circa 1075 as Coritno, in 1287 as Goriten, and in 1431 as Kareitten. The name is truncated from *Koritno selo, with an adjective derived from korito 'trough; riverbed, channel', referring to a landscape feature, plus selo 'village'. The Slavic root *kory̋to is a frequent basis for place names, such as Korita, Coritis (in Italy's Resia Valley), Korito (in North Macedonia), and Korytná (in the Czech Republic).[2]
