Name

Blegoš was attested in historical records as ''Bligosh'' and ''Bligos'' in 1763–1787. In the local dialect, it is known as ''Bliegaš''. The name ''Blegoš'' is a clipped borrowing from the German name ''Fleherskofel'' (a compound of ''Fleher'' 'suppliant, petitioner' and ''Kofel'' 'mountain with a rounded top').
