Name
Rut was attested in historical sources as ''Corithnich Reutharius'' in 1310, ''Cordnitze super Tulminum'' in 1480, ''Krytha bey der Pfarr'' in 1515, ''Coriniza di Baza'' in 1566, and ''Teutsch Coritniza'' in 1624, among many other names.
It was labeled ''D. Ober Koritniza oder Deutsch Greuth'' in the late-18th-century
Josephinian Land Survey. The Slovene name ''Rut'' is derived from the Slovene common noun ''rut'', referring to a meadow on cleared land in a hilly environment. The Slovene noun is a borrowing from Middle High German ''rut'' 'clearing'. The older name of the village, ''Nemški Rut'' (literally, 'German Rut'), refers to the community of German speakers that formerly lived there. The Slovene name of the village was changed from ''Nemški Rut'' to ''Rut'' after the Second World War
as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove German elements from toponyms.
