Vydrany (, , until 1899 ) is a village and municipality in the Dunajská Streda District in the Trnava Region of south-west Slovakia. .

==Names and etymology== The Hungarian name Hodos (the current name in the language of the national minority) and the former Slovak name Hodoš derive from Hungarian appellative hód - a beaver. After the abolition of serfdom and some noble privileges in 1848, the village was renamed to Nemeshodos (nemes - noble). In 1948, the village was renamed to Vydrany. This name comes from a translation mistake. In Slovak vydra means an otter.
