Name

The name Laze was originally an accusative plural of the masculine common noun laz 'grassy clearing', referring to a local landscape element. It was later reanalyzed as a feminine nominative plural.{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=228}} The settlement was known as {{lang|de|Lase}} in German.

Unmarked grave

File:Logarček Shaft Grave.jpg

Laze is the site of an unmarked grave from the period after the Second World War. The Logarček Shaft Grave ({{langx|sl|Grobišče Brezno Logarček}}) is located in the woods between Laze and the freeway, about {{convert|320|m|sp=us}} northwest of the overpass. It contained the remains of a Slovene civilian victim of the December 1945 postwar killings. The remains were removed from the grave under unknown circumstances.{{cite web |last1=Ferenc |first1=Mitja |title=Grobišče Brezno Logarček |url=https://www.geopedia.world/#T12_L362_F2534:251_x1588328.6803373306_y5758734.174493858_s15_b2345 |website=Geopedia |publisher=Služba za vojna grobišča, Ministrstvo za delo, družino in socialne zadeve |accessdate=October 28, 2023 |location=Ljubljana |language=sl |date=December 2009}}
