== Name == Linguist Max Vasmer writes the toponym is Slavic and linked to the form Vodensko, found in several other Slavic placenames in the Balkans. Linguist Kostas Oikonomou derives the toponym from the Slavic dědina indicating 'the grandfather's inheritance', inheritance', 'the estate from inheritance', 'estate', 'village'.
