The name of Haihoutes may refer to the Armenians that used to live in this area at one time (Armenians are called Haik). It is more probable however that this settlement took its name from the family name of the first settlers and landowners of the region. The Bavarian archaeologist Ludwig Ross, visiting Kos in 1844, identified Haihoutes as a village of blacks (“negroes”, maybe soldiers who had served with the Egyptian troops or Turco-Cretans).
