Name
editČabrače was attested in historical sources as Schabratssch in 1291, Schabratsch in 1420, and Tschbratzi in 1500.[3] The name comes from the plural demonym *Ča(je)braťane based on the personal name *Ča(je)bratъ, thus meaning 'residents of Ča(je)bratъ's village'.[4]
Church
edit
The local church is dedicated to Saint Gertrude (Slovene: sveta Jedrt). An older Gothic structure was remodeled in the early 18th century, when the belfry was also added.[5]
