 The name "Tihaboj" was first attested in 1136 as "Tehaboj" (other early attestations include "Tenchebvo" in 1250, "Techeloy" in 1343, "Tethenoy" in 1384, "Teihawoy" in 1436).The medieval inscriptions indicate that the name is derived from "*Těxobojь", probably a Slavic personal name derived from "*těxa" 'consolation' + "*bojь" 'fight'.The landmark of the village is the early Baroque church of Saint Mark in the central part of the village, built in the early 17th century, with a late 17th-century octagonal belfry.
