Etymology

The oldest name of the village was Přibýšov. The name was derived from the personal name Přibýš, meaning "Přibýš's (court)". Later the name was distorted to Přebýšov and then to Převýšov.^[2]

Geography

History

The first written mention of Převýšov is from 1386, when there was a stronghold. The village was part of the Chlumec estate. The most notable owners were the Kinsky family and the Pernštejn family. Vojtěch I of Pernštejn had founded vineyards here, but winegroving ended during the Thirty Years' War. In the 1870s, a railway was constructed, which contributed to the development of the area.^[3]
