Name.
Matajur was attested as "Mons Regis" circa 680, and as "in Monte Majori" in 1275. The Slovene name "Matajur" is derived via vowel harmony or akanye from "*Motajur" (< "Mǫtmajur"), which was borrowed from a Friulian name that developed from Romance "Monte(m) maiōre(m)" 'higher mountain'. It is known as "Mat'jur" in the local dialect, and in Friulian as "Mòntmaiôr" or "Mataiûr" (a reborrowing from Slovene).

On 26 October 1917, Oberleutnant Erwin Rommel captured the mountain during the battle of Caporetto of World War I.
