Name
Together with neighboring Veliko Ubeljsko (literally, 'big Ubeljsko'), Malo Ubeljsko (literally, 'little Ubeljsko') was mentioned in written sources circa 1200 as ''ze Vlbelzch'' (and as ''Vbelczk'' in 1402, ''Vlbliczk'' and ''Vbelicz'' in 1485, and ''Vbelskh'' in 1498). The name may be derived from the common noun ''*ǫbъlъ'' '(deep) spring'; there are several major springs in the area.
