The initial name of the village was just Zálezly. The name was derived from the Czech adjective zalezlý ('tucked away'), which figuratively referred to a remote village.[2] In 1949, the prefix dolní ('lower') was added to the name to distinguish the village from the nearby village of the same name (today known as Horní Zálezly, part of Malečov).[3]
