Name Zapreval was attested in historical sources as Prewalt in 1291, Prewal in 1453, and Dolenigriboitzi and Gorenigriboitzi in 1500, among other names and spellings. The name is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost case inflection, from za 'behind' + Preval (literally, 'crest, mountain pass'), referring to its position behind Preval Hill (elevation ) southeast of the village. Locally, the village is also known as za Prevalom, and the name also appears reduced through apocope as Zaprev.
Recreation Zapreval lies by the Stari Vrh ski slopes with fifty hectares of slopes, a new 6-chair lift and 5 ski tows.Slovenian Tourist Board site
