Golěm Ōdrьn is mentioned together with the rivers of Moštanica and of Lukavica in the boundary description of Psača in the charter by the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (reigned 1331-1355) for the Monastery of Hilandar from 1354/55 (Psačju sь vsěmi pravinami, a megja sela togo Moštanica kako pripada u rěku Lukavicu i do gde se izovrьša Moštanica i povrьhʼ planine nizʼ drumь kako spada posrěd golěmoga ōdrьna). The village of Odreno is registered as Gorna Odrina and Dolna Odrina in Defter for the Sanjak Köstendil from 1519 and from the years 1570 to 1572. The expression "golěm ōdrьn" is correctly translated by Siniša Mišić as "great rockfall" or "landslide". According to the charter, there was a local road, which went through the area. It is conceivable that the village of Odreno emerged in this area in Early Modern times. Its appearance in the Ottoman Defter and in Early Modern maps as well as the phonetical relation to the name of the topographical entity Golěm Ōdrьn can be perceived as proof for such a claim. The localisation and identification is based also on the context of the boundary description.
