==Name== Drtija was mentioned in written sources as Dritey in 1320, Dretey in 1322, Dritey in 1335, Drittey in 1405, and Dreytey in 1436, among other spellings. The original name has been reconstructed as *Drětija, which may be derived from the verb *drěti 'to tear, clear (land)'. If so, the name means 'cleared land'.
