Name
Razbore was attested in written sources in 1250 as ''Raswor'' and ''Rasswor'' (and as ''Rasebor'' in 1302). The original form of the name was ''*Razori'', a plural form of the common noun ''razor'' 'dead furrow'. The name probably does not refer to agricultural activity, but is instead metaphorical, referring to split or fissured terrain. In the local dialect, the name underwent diphthongization followed by the phonological development ''v'' > ''b'' (known as ''betacizem'' in Slovene), and the masculine plural accusative (in ''-e'') was then reanalyzed as a feminine plural nominative: thus ''*Razóri'' > ''Razóri'' > ''*Razbóri'' > ''Razbóre''. In 2013, the official name of the settlement was changed from ''Razbore – del'' (literally, 'part of Razbore') to ''Razbore''. The change took place when a former part of Razbore known as ''Razbore – katastrska občina Poljane – del'' (literally, 'part of Razbore in the cadastral community of Poljane') was annexed by
