Name

The dialect-based Slovene name ''Pugled'' and the standard form ''Pogled'' are common toponyms in Slovenia (e.g., '' Pugled'', '' Pugled pri Mokronogu'', '' Pogled''). The name is derived from the Slovene word ''pogled'' 'bare hill with an open view' and referred to a landscape feature. The name of the settlement was changed from ''Pugled'' to ''Pugled pri Starem Logu'' in 1953. The semantically related German name ''Hohenberg'' and Gottscheerish name ''Hoachnparg'' both mean 'high mountain'.
