Inhabitors remembered about Matusevych as the village founder in the beginning of XX century. Obviously, the name of village occurs from a surname of the founder.
In symbolics uses the family Matusevych sign "Labendz" ("Swan"). In Ukraine this family was known by L.Matusevych, one of the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party founders (January 1900), and also member of the Helsinki group, former political prisoner, public figure and journalist M.Matusevych."
