Name

The placename ''Kuratica'' is possibly an Aromanian toponym derived from the word ''curát'' meaning clear, fast, clean alongside the suffix ''ica''. The village is located near a fast running mountain stream. "По секоја веројатност, името е романско. образувано со суф. -ица од придавката curát "бистар, брз, чист"). Селото се наоѓа близу до еден брз планински поток."
