==Name== Puštal was first attested in written sources in 1214–20 as Purchstallo and Purchstal (and as Burchstal in 1291 and 1318, Bůrchstal in 1360, and Purgstal in 1501). The original Slovene form of the name, *Purštal, was borrowed from the Middle High German name of the settlement and is derived from the Middle High German common noun burcstal 'fortified settlement'. In the past the German name was Burgstall.
