During the Ottoman period, the village was called Tsiam-Kebir or Tsamkioi, meaning "pine tree" in Turkish,  due to the existence of many pine trees in the area. Dadia was named after the Greek word δαδί (dadi), meaning the resin-filled wood that comes from the pine tree employed as a means of lighting and kindling.
