The village is not mentioned in the Venetian censuses of the 16th century, but it was inhabited, as evidenced by the existence of a building from that period. It is possible that this is the settlement of Pomogna Barbarigo, which is mentioned by Francesco Basilicata. The etymology of the name is not known. According to one view it comes from the priest Paidis, who is mentioned in the temple census of 1637. Another view says that it comes from the "paidia", which are the stunted carobs, a reference to the fact that the area is not particularly fertile . Remains of a carved Greco-Roman circular tomb have been found between the villages of Ramni and Paidochori.
