Name The name Draževnik, like similar toponyms (e.g., Draža vas, Draženci, Dražgoše), is probably derived from a Slavic personal name (such as *Dragъ/Drago, *Dražigojь, *Dražigostь) and likely refers to an early inhabitant of the place. In the past it was known as Draschounik in German.
History On 18 November 1942 Italian forces killed several villagers from Draževnik in nearby Podsmreka.
