Name
The name Male Žablje literally means 'little Žablje', contrasting with neighboring Velike Žablje (literally, 'big Žablje'). Like related toponyms (e.g., Žabnica, Žabče, and Žablje), the name is derived from the Slovene common noun žaba 'frog', referring to a settlement near a wetland where frogs live.
