Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Studor to Studor v Bohinju in 1955.[2] The name of the settlement was first attested in 1291 as Ztodar. The name was originally an oronym, *Stodor, derived from Common Slavic *stodorъ 'sharp peak'. The pronunciation Stu- for Sto- is a dialect feature (Slovene: ukanje) that has become standardized in this toponym.[3]
