Name

In Serbian, the village is known as Novi Kozjak (Нови Козјак), in Hungarian as Ferdinándfalva, and in German as Ferdinandsdorf.

Until 1947, the official name of the village was Ferdin, which is still in use by many inhabitants. The name Novi Kozjak was given in memory of a village of that name destroyed during the Second World War, which was named after the Kozjak mountain in North Macedonia.
