Votonosi (Greek: Βοτονόσι, Aromanian: Vutunoshi)[2] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. At the location called Katafy near the village are ruins of an ancient wall.[3] The site of the village has a pass linking Metsovo with Greek Macedonia.[3]

The toponym is derived from the Slavic personal name Budnoš, with the o sound developing into u and the Slavic b and d becoming n and t in Greek.[3] The personal name Budnoš is formed from the Slavic Bulgarian adjective byden, -dna, -dno, meaning 'awake, alert', and the Slavic suffix -(ъ).[4]
