'''Prebold''' ({{IPA|sl|ˈpɾeːbɔlt|pron}}) is a settlement in central [[Slovenia]]. It is the seat of the [[Municipality of Prebold]]. It lies on the edge of the lower [[Savinja]] Valley at the northern edge of the Sava Hills west of [[Celje]]. The area is part of the traditional region of [[Lower Styria|Styria]]. The municipality is now included in the [[Savinja Statistical Region]].<ref>[http://www.prebold.si/ Prebold municipal site]</ref>

==Name==
The name of the settlement was changed from ''Sveti Pavel pri Preboldu'' (literally, 'Saint Paul near Prebold') to ''Prebold'' in 1952. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.<ref>''Spremembe naselij 1948–95''. 1996.

The name ''Sveti Pavel'' is derived from the church in the settlement, and the name ''Prebold'' is believed to be derived from German ''Prewald'', in turn borrowed from Slovene ''preval'' 'mountain pass'. The name ''Prebold'' formerly referred to a part of the settlement known today as ''Graščina'', but may have originally referred to the Vrhe Pass<ref>[https://www.geopedia.world/#T12_L362_F3226:53070_x1676911.9226470578_y5810422.389463286_s15_b2345 Vrhe Pass on Geopedia]</ref> on the route from Prebold to [[Trbovlje]].<ref name="Snoj">{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=327}}</ref>
