Novo Selo
Novo Selo or Nowo Selo , Cyrillic Ново село ( , is a common Slavic name for villages.
Word origin
Selo means ' village ' in the southern Slavic languages that are common on the Balkan Peninsula (Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, Macedonian), nowo means 'new' - the German equivalent is 'Neues Dorf' or ' Neudorf '.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, many villages on the Balkan Peninsula with this name translated the name into other languages at the same time: Neudorf, Yeniköy (Turkish), Neochori ( Greek χωριό 'village'; in Bulgarian spelling: Неохори), újfalu (Hungarian). The name is about as common as the German Neustadt .
The opposite of Novo Selo is Staro Selo ('Old Village').
