Name of village Zebince is originated from Serbian language. Its name is derived from Serbian adjective зебно (zebno, translated as "cold" or "chilly"), which can be linked to cold weather usual for winter time in this mountainous area. It was first time mentioned in 1674 in written documents of Michael Kantakouzenos.[2]
