Name

The name Hrašče, like similar names (e.g., Hraše, Hrastje, Hrastovica, Hrastnik), is derived from the plural demonym *Hrasťane, in turn derived from the word hrast 'oak', and originally referred to the local vegetation.
Church
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Parish of Hrenovice.
