Name
Prelog was attested in historical sources as Prelunk in 1345, Prelog in 1369, Prelokg in 1414, and Prelokch in 1451.[3] The name is either derived from the common noun prelog 'fallow ground, abandoned field', or it is a fused prepositional phrase, from pre(d) 'in front of' + log '(swampy) meadow; grove'. In either case, the name refers to a local geographical feature.[4]
