It is composed of four villages: Gavojdia, Jena, Lugojel and Sălbăgel. The name Gavojdia has its origin in the Latin quvae which means "hills" and sideo which means "settlement", which would translate as "settlement between hills". There is another theory according to which Gavojdia has its origin in the Slavic gvojd which means "iron" and gvojde which means "blacksmith", since there were many blacksmiths serving the interests of landowners and those who traveled by stagecoach here. Hungarian ethnologists claimed that the origin of the word Gavojdia came from kő which means "stone" and köves which means "stony".
