Etymology The initial name of the settlement was Přín. The name was derived from the Czech word pře (i.e. 'dispute'). At the beginning of the 15th century, two villages began to be distinguished: Dolní Přín ('lower Přín') and Horní Přín ('upper Přín'). In the 17th century, the name was distorted to Přím due to its resemblance to the word přímý ('straight', 'direct').

History The first written mention of Dolní Přím is from 1378, when there was a fortress owned by Pešík Přín of Přín.
