Razori (; in older sources also RozoreLeksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru, vol. 6: Kranjsko. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 106.) is a small clustered village on the right bank of Horjulščica Creek (a.k.a. Horjulka Creek) near Dobrova in the Municipality of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.Dobrova–Polhov Gradec municipal site There are springs in the area and a water reservoir for Dobrova lies above the village. Historically the village's economy was oriented toward dairy farming and vegetable production, as well as fruit growing (apples and pears) and brandy production.
Name Razori was first mentioned in written records in 1736 as ex Rosor, and later as ex Rosora (in 1745) and ex Raſsorie (in 1747). In the past it was known as Rosore in German.Intelligenzblatt zur Laibacher Zeitung, no. 141. 24 November 1849, p. 21. The name Razori is a plural form of the common noun razor 'dead furrow'. The name probably does not refer to agricultural activity, but is instead metaphorical, referring to split or fissured terrain.
