This name, (Greek: Χατζήμισι), could possibly originate in the fact that the Turkish owner of the area did not manage to complete the Hajj to Mecca and assume the title of Hajji.

Stefanovik indeed – as reported by the residents – donated the area to the Greek State, and in recognition of this, the inhabitants named the village after him.

Later on, in the year 1901, his nephew and heir, sold in turn these Thessalian properties at a low price to the Greek Government, for the purpose to distribute these amongst the local farmers.

By this will – as mentioned in the newspaper "Volos'Thessaly" – amongst other large donations to the Nation, Paul Stefanovik Skylitsis, donated to Greece his Thessalian estates amounting to 22 villages, whose value is estimated to 10,000,000 drachmas of the era, under the condition that the resulted state revenues are given tho the Ecumenical Patriarchate and used to finance Greek Orthodox Church clerics still functioning under foreign yoke.

On 07.12.1901, the Stefanovik estates sale contract was signed for the nominal amount of 80,000 pounds, a price considered as "token sum".

On 14.02.1902 began in Larissa the acceptance of the estates by an Ecumenical Surveyor and 05/23/1902, the government decided to rent them, until they become counted and classified by land quality to allow for distribution.

Salih Bey claimed he owned land titles for estates he mortgaged to the late Stefanovik; and that he was willing to pay the borrowed amount plus interest, in order to get them back.

from the last houses of the village to the side of Karla, traces can be found of older settlements at the sites "Magoula" and "Petra".
