History
The settlement belongs to the historical region of ancient Prussia by the name of Nadrovia .
In 1938, the authorities of Nazi Germany changed the name Trappenen to a more Germanized version of Trappen as part of the campaign to abolish toponyms of Lithuanian origin in East Prussia . In 1945-1946, the Soviet authorities returned to use a more lithuanized version of Trappenen .
In 1946, the village of Trappenen was renamed the village of Neman [3] .
