Name
The name Todraž was first attested in written sources as Witodras in 1291 and 1381 (and Wittodrasy in 1501). These transcriptions indicate that it is derived from *Vitodraž, in turn based on the Slavic personal name Vitodrag.[3]
Uranium mine
The headquarters of the Žirovski Vrh Uranium Mine are in the settlement. The mine was permanently closed in the 1990s. The site is being sanctioned[clarification needed] and the company, now funded by the Slovene government, is in charge of the safe closure of the mine and of restoring the environment.[4]
