Name.
Ratitovec was attested in historical sources as "Boscana" in AD 973 and as "Petschana" in 1763–87 (both corresponding to the Pečana mountain pasture on the north slope of the ridge), as well as "Ratitovecz" and "Rakitovez" in the second half of the eighteenth century. The name "Ratitovec" developed from "Rakitovec" via assimilation at a distance and is based on the common noun "rakita" 'eared willow', referring to the local vegetation.
