Name
Luža was attested in historical sources as Lakken in 1444, Lakhen in 1471, and Lusach in 1507.[4][5] The Slovene name Luža comes from the Slovene common noun luža 'pond, pool, puddle', referring to a local geographical feature.[4] The German name Lacken is believed to be of similar origin (cf. German Lache 'pool, puddle').[6]
