Name

Parecag was attested in written sources in 1257 as ''Padriçagi'', and in 1294 as ''Pareçagum'' and ''Padrecagum''. The Slovenian name ''Parecag'' is borrowed from Italian ''Parezzago'', which developed from Latin ''*Patriciācum'', based on the personal name ''Patricius''. Etymologically, the name means 'property owned by Patricius'.
