Laze Pri Dolskem
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Laze to Laze pri Dolskem in 1953. The name Laze is derived from the common noun laz 'cleared area in or next to a forest overgrown with grass'. This was originally a masculine plural noun (preserved in some other toponyms such as Dolenji Lazi), but it became a feminine plural noun like similar toponyms (e.g., Laze, Zgornje Laže, etc.) due to the ambiguous accusative ending in -e.
History
At the beginning of the 20th century, a grave dating from the Migration Period was found near the Hribar house, testifying to early settlement in the area. A former mill along Slapnica Creek was torn down between the two world wars. The former inn in Laze pri Dolskem closed in 1964.
