Village has changed many names. In the Middle Ages, the village was called Sentivan, because family who owned it was Sentivanji. In the second half of the [[13th century]] it was called ''Szentivankeszi'' ([[Serbs]] called it Kesi-selo / Кеси-село). By the year of [[1418]], Serbs called it Despot Sentivan (Деспот Сентиван). It was named by Despot [[Jovan Branković]]. Hungarians later accepted that name and they called it like that from [[16th century]] to [[18th century]]. In [[15th century|15th]] and [[16th century]] [[Hungarians]] called it ''Edzasszentivan'', ''Kisszentivan'' and again Sentivan. In [[1904]] Hungarians called it Ursentivan. After [[World War I]], when Ursentivan became part of the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]], they called it Despot Sveti Ivan ([[English language|English]]: Despot Saint John). After [[World War II]] it changed name to Vasiljevo (Васиљево), because of Soviet soldier Vasilj who was the first soldier who entered the village after Germans abandoned it. After few years they called it Novo Vasiljevo, and then, finally, Despotovo.
