Name

The village toponym Zoupan is Slavic and referred to particular hierarchies such as the head of a unit. Zoupan is the village name still used by locals. Formed from the toponym Zoupan, due to the local prominence of the village, and the Greek word choria (village), the name Zoupanochoria is used for a group of villages in the wider area.
