==Name== The name is probably derived from a personal name Previd with possessive suffix -ja, signifying 'Previd's village'. An alternative and less probable derivation is from the word element, vid- (as in , 'to see'), so, , 'to see through', thus 'the village which can be seen from all directions', or 'the village in the thin stand'.
