Name
Hlavče Njive was attested in historical sources as Qualtsemb in 1291 and Chlapscheniue in 1500.[3] Etymologically, the name means 'servants' fields', referring to a feudal arrangement, from hlapec 'demesne servant' (cf. Chlap-sche in the 1500 attestation) + njive (plural of njiva 'tilled field').[4]
