Name
Marindol was first attested in written sources in 1477 as Marintall (and in 1490 as Marental). The name is a compound formed from *Mari(ji)n dol (literally, 'Mary's valley'). The settlement was also once known as Šobatovci or Šobatovo selo, or Šabotovo/Šobotovo selo, cited as Shebatova sella in 1674.
