Trata was attested in historical sources asTratten in 1414 andTraten in 1428.[3]The nameTrata occurs several times in Slovenia. It is derived from the Slovene common nountrata 'small treeless meadow', which was borrowed fromMiddle High Germantrat 'meadow'.[4]
In the 1900 census Trata had a population of 59 living in 10 houses,[5] and in the 1931 census 81 people living in 14 houses.[1] It was part of theParish of Šentvid nad Ljubljano.

Trata later became part of Ljubljana when Šentvid was annexed by Ljubljana in 1974.[6]
