== Name == The names of the river Vjosa and village are intertwined. The river in Greek is known as Vovousa by the village of Vovousa and the surrounding area and in Aromanian both are named as Băiasa. Aoos, the ancient form of the river name was preserved in the subsequent forms Voosa and Vovousa as they preserved the f sound of the mainland Doric Greek dialect in the toponym or the later development of a dentolabial v between vowels and by the influence of the Albanian article.
