The village of Podhora is an administrative part of Mohelnice nad Jizerou.
The name was derived from the name of the Mohelka river, which was initially called Mohelnice. The name of the river was derived from the word mohyla (i.e. 'mound', formerly also 'hill'; so the word mohelnice meant "water flowing between hills").[2]
