Name
Čatež was attested in written sources in 1249 as ''Sates'' (and as ''Tzattesch'' in 1265 and ''Czates'' in 1392). The name is believed to be derived from the Slovene common noun ''*čretež'' 'cleared land'. A less likely theory derives the name from the Slovene common noun ''čret'' or ''čreta'' 'swamp'. Rejected derivations of the name include those from ''čata'' 'ambush' because of medieval transcriptions and linguistic geographical factors, and from ''Čatež'' (the name of a mythological dwarf). The name of the settlement was changed from ''Čatež'' to ''Čatež ob Savi'' in 1955. In the past the German name was ''Tschatesch''.Churches
