The historical name of the village is Kuchuk-Yashlav . Kuchuk ( Crimean-Tat. Küçük ) means "small", the name Yashlav comes from the aristocratic family of the Yeyslav bei ( Crimean-Tat. Yaşlav ), who during the Crimean Khanate owned lands in the valleys of Alma and Kachi and on the plateaus (more precisely - kuestah ) The third ridge of the Crimean mountains between them.

According to written sources, the history of the village can be traced no earlier than the XVIII century, but, given that there was an ancient road from the Crimean capital to the main port of the Gozlev Khanate (later Evpatoria) and lost its significance only after the construction of the railway , the village was much older.
