Nevetlenfolu (, , ) is a village in Berehove Raion (district; until 2020, Vynohradiv Raion) in Zakarpattia Oblast of Ukraine as one of its western regions.
Its name in Hungarian language literally means "no-name village". Earlier it was known as Gyakfalva, however it was changed in the 17th century because the first part of the name "gyak" meant sexual intercourse (in Hungarian) and was considered offensive (note, in Slavic languages "dyak" means a secretary/clerk; its Hungarian cognates are the obsolete deák, with the same meaning, and contemporary diák, meaning "student" – all of these from Greek διάκονος). After 1619 the village is mentioned as Nevetlenfalu in the records.
