Andrew II. Originally, Mošovce was made up of two settlements: The first one, ''Machyuch'', was located in the area of today’s ''Starý Rad'', and the second one, ''Terra Moys'', which gave the village its current name, occupied the place of the present day ''Vidrmoch''. And it is the name of the second settlement meaning The Land of Mojš, which makes us believe that the whole village once belonged to certain Mr. ''Mojš'', whose name might have been an abbreviation of a compound Slavic name ''Mojtech'', similar to the names ''Vojtech'' or ''Mojmír''. Throughout history the name of the village has undergone many variations ranging from ''Mossovych'', ''Mosocz'', ''Mossowecz'', ''villa regia Mayos alio nomine Mossovych'', ''oppidioum Mayus sue Mosocz'', ''Mosocz olim Mayus'' to the present-day Mošovce. The name of a separate ancient part of Mošovce, a former settlement ''Chornukov'', has been preserved in the modern form of ''Čerňakov''. Yet another part of the village bears the name of ''Mazan''. Mošovce first developed as a royal settlement with a free advocacy, and from the middle the 14th century as a privileged town subjected to the royal
