In the 19th century it had the Turkish name Ortachioi, and at the beginning of the 20th century, the village received the name "Regina Maria" (after Queen Marie of Romania{{cite web|url=http://www.familiaregala.ro/|title=The Royal Family of Romania}}). From 1947 to the present days, the village bears the name Horia.
