Historical information
The etymology of the name is unknown. According to one view, it comes from the kados, a container used to collect milk, as the village's economy is mainly livestock.[3] According to another view, a Turkish kadis (district chief) lived in the village and from this event the village took its name.[4] The village is mentioned in the Ottoman tax register of 1474 as Kazi. According to the register, it had 42 houses with 4 widows and was subject to the nahiye of Monodryos.[5]
In 1836 Kadi was annexed to the municipality of Konistria, in 1848 to the municipality of Kotyla, and with the abolition of municipalities in 1912 it was designated as the seat of a community which also included the village of Giannides. During the occupation, 30 Greeks were executed by the occupying forces in the precincts of the church of Saint Seraphim.[3]
