The current name means Vineyards and refers to rich vineyard tradition in this region.
The former village Kučišdorf was initially known as Turduna, Torduna, Turna or Thurnie, the name comes from Slovaktŕň, trnava (see also etymology of Trnava).[4] Its later name Kučišdorf comes from a personal name probably of Slavic origin Kucar/Kučar adopted to the Hungarian language as Chucar, Csukar (Chukarfalva, Csukárd).[4] The name of the second former village Trlinok also comes from Slovak tŕň.[4] In 1948, villages were renamed: Kučišdorf to Veľké Tŕnie and Trlinok to Malé Tŕnie.
History
In historical records the village, which was made of two independent parts was first mentioned in 1208, although it was inhabited lot sooner, in the 9th century, as the Great Moravian site was discovered near the village.
At the end of the 13th century, two village arose: Trlinka and Kučišdorf, which were closely linked to their bigger towns, Pezinok and Modra. The villages merged in 1964 to one village Vinosady. The merged village got its own coat-of-arms in 1998.
The difference between the population numbers above and in the census (here and below) is that the population numbers above are mostly made up of permanent residents, etc.; and the census should indicate the place where people actually mainly live. For example, a student is a citizen of a village because he has permanent residence there (he lived there as a child and has parents), but most of the time he studies at a university in the city.
