The Serbian place name of the village is Banatsko Novo Selo and means Banatian New Village, but it has previously also been known by different names throughout its history. Older Serbian name of the village was simply Novo Selo, while in German it has been known as Banater Neudorf, in Hungarian it has been known as Révújfalu and in Romanian it has been known as Satu Nou- a name still announced on entry and exit signs along the highway due to the large Romanian ethnic minority in the town.
The largest town nearby the village is Pančevo, but the region is also scattered with other inhabited places, similar in size with Banatsko Novo Selo, such as Kačarevo and Dolovo. The village is also on the main thoroughfare between the capital city Belgrade and Romania.
In 1921, about 80 percent of the population of the village were ethnic Romanians.[4] In 2002, the Romanian minority numbered 2,036 people (27.7%).
