Name

The settlement was recorded in written sources in 1220–30 as in Bratyssen, in Radgassen, and in Dragozla (and in 1265–67 as in Deschen). The name is probably derived from the common noun deža 'squat round vessel', also used in the metaphorical sense 'hollow carved by water'. The name of the settlement was changed from Dežno to Dežno pri Makolah (literally, 'Dežno near Makole') in 1953.
