Name
editThe name Prelesje is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost case inflection: pre(d) 'before, in front of' + lesje 'woods', referring to its location relative to forested land. Prelesje was attested in older sources as Prilezzi in 1291 and Prilessi in 1500,[3] and the name was transcribed as Perleſsie on the Franciscan land survey of 1818–1828.[4]
