Name
Drtno was attested in written sources as Odertnim in 1571,[4][5] and in older modern sources it was spelled Dertno.[2] The name is probably derived from Slavic *(orz-)dьrto(je) (poľe) 'cleared field', referring to land that was cleared for farming.[6] Related toponyms include Drtija and Razdrto,[6] as well as various microtoponyms (Drt, Drti, Drtica, Drtiči, Drtičje, Drtine, Drtniki).[7]
