Name

Razori was first mentioned in written records in 1736 as ''ex Rosor'', and later as ''ex Rosora'' (in 1745) and ''ex Raſsorie'' (in 1747). In the past it was known as ''Rosore'' in German. The name ''Razori'' is 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.
