== Name == In a monograph (1971) by Chrystos Gasios about the village he wrote Kostiani was another form of the placename Kastaniani. The placename stems from the Slavic form Kostanjane and is derived from the toponym Kostanj, from the word kostanъ meaning 'chestnut' and the suffix -jane, used in the formation of words to denote the inhabitant of a region. The Slavic o became a through Greek in the toponym.
