Name
The name is derived from the local region of Banat (Banatsko), while Novo Selo literally means "New Village" in Serbian, hence the full meaning of the name would be "a new village of Banat".
The current official Serbian name of the village (confirmed as official in 1922) is Banatsko Novo Selo (Банатско Ново Село), but it has previously also been known by different names throughout its history. Older Serbian name of the village (confirmed as official in 1854) was simply Novo Selo (Ново Село), while in German it has been known as Neudorf, Banater Neudorf, and Pfefferthal, in Hungarian it has been known as Ujfalu (also as Réva-Ujfalu and Bánát-Ujfalu), and in Romanian it has been known as Satu Nou.
