Name

Ponova Vas was attested in written sources in 1436 as Penndorff (and as Ponoua vaſs in 1686, Pondorff in 1688, and Panoua vaſs in 1720).[5][6] In the past the German name was Pöndorf.[2] In the local dialect, the name is pronounced Panova vas. The morphology of the name indicates that it is a possessive form of a personal name, perhaps Old High German Pono or Bono, thus meaning 'Pono's village' or 'Bono's village'. Derivations from *(Žu)panova vьsь 'mayor's village' and from the Italian personal name Beno have been rejected for accentual reasons.[5]
