Name

The name Vremski Britof means 'Britof near Vreme', distinguishing the settlement from others named Britof. The name Britof is derived from the Slovene common noun britof 'cultivated fenced area'. This was borrowed from Middle High German vrîthof, also meaning 'cultivated fenced area'. The denotation of the common noun in both languages later developed from this original meaning to 'churchyard' and then to 'cemetery'.[4]
