In 1464, after it was resettled, the village was named Nová Ves ('new village'). The village was burned down during the Austro-Turkish War in 1663 and during the Rákóczi's War of Independence in 1703–1704.[3]
Until 1924, the municipality was called Nová Ves u Ostrohu, then it was renamed Ostrožská Nová Ves. In 1949, the municipality of Chyjice was annexed to Ostrožská Nová Ves.[4]
