Name

Zalog pri Kresnicah was attested in historical sources as Zelog in 1370, Zalag in 1425, and Salog in 1505.[4] The name Zalog pri Kresnicah means 'Zalog near Kresnice', differentiating the settlement from others named Zalog (e.g., Zalog pri Moravčah, Zalog pri Škofljici, etc.) The name Zalog is a fused prepositional phrase, derived from za 'behind' + log 'partially wooded (wet) meadow near water' or 'woods (near a settlement)'.[5]
