There are different variations regarding why the village was named Xylotymbou. One explanation is that the name came from the numerous forests and woodlands (the Greek word for woods is o-xylo-). Of course, now there aren’t many forests in the area, since they have been destroyed. According to a different account, the Xylos-tympou was added to set it apart from neighboring villages with the same name.
