The mountain's name is the feminine adjectival form of the Slovene word škrlat, a cognate of "scarlet," referring to the dramatic reddish-purple shade of the steep northwestern rockface in the reddish light of sunset. The alternate name Suhi plaz refers to a scree below Mount Spodnji Rokav.

The first recorded ascent of Škrlatica was made from the southern side on 24 August 1880 by Julius Kugy, accompanied by the mountain guide Andrej Komac and the hunter Matija Kravanja.
