Name
The name ''Gorenja Dobrava'' means 'upper Dobrava', contrasting with neighboring '' Dolenja Dobrava'' (literally, 'lower Dobrava'), which stands about lower. Gorenja Dobrava was attested in historical sources as ''Hard Superiori'' in 1291, ''Superiori Hard'' in 1318, ''Dobraw'' in 1420, and ''Gorenidobraui'' in 1500. The place name ''Dobrava'' is relatively frequent in Slovenia. It is derived from the Slovene common noun ''dobrava'' 'gently rolling partially wooded land' (and archaically 'woods, grove'). The name therefore refers to the local geography.Church
