Its name seems to derive from the Greek term "kyminà", which refers to cumin, a plant used both in food preservation and in the production of liqueurs. Founded in 1453 by communities of Christian Greeks and Albanians fleeing from Constantinople, the village, thanks to its impervious location, represented a safe refuge.
