Name

Čadrg was attested in written sources in 1257 as Zadroc (and as Zadroch and Çadrach in 1377, Tschadrach in 1515, and Tschadra in 1523). The name probably derives from the Slavic personal name *Ča(je)dragъ, referring to an early resident of the place. Discounted theories of the name's derivation include development from Latin cataracta 'waterfall' or Friulian chadrèe 'chair' (referring to a terrace).[6]
