Name.
An original name of modern Neapoli was Lapsista (Λαψίστα). Linguist Max Vasmer states the toponym was "Lěvšišče" and cognate with the Serbo–Croatian "Lepšić", a personal name derived from the Slavic word "lěp" meaning "nice". Linguist Yordan Zaimov associated the toponym Lapsista with the Bulgarian toponym Lapšišta, deriving both from "Lubčište" in reference to a personal name formed from "Lubko", with "bč" in Slavic rendered as "ps" (ψ) in Greek.
Linguist Konstantinos Oikonomou derives the toponym from the Albanian word "lafsh/ë" referring to the plumage or plume of a rooster. The term when applied in a geographical context could refer to small mountainous heights. The word "lafsh/ë" along with either the Slavic ending or Albanian suffix "ishta" resulted in the phonetic form "l'afšišta"/"liafšišta" through the Albanian "l" (l'i) and "Leafšišta" or "Leausista" (Λεαυσίστα) where "i" became "e" near the "l". In the last form of the toponym, the sound "ea" turned into "a" and "fš" became "ps" (ψ) resulting in "Lapsista" (Λαψίστα). Other villages with the name are Ano (Upper) and Lower (Kato) Lapsista in Greek Epirus.
Under Ottoman rule, the town was known as Nasliç () in Turkish. In Greek, the form Anaselitsa (Ανασελίτσα), derived from a nearby village Seltsa (modern Eratyra) was also used for the town and the wider area until the late 1920s. 
History.
Michael Kalinderis lists Leipista as populated by Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades. The 1920 Greek census recorded 1401 people in the town, and 250 inhabitants (130 families) were Muslim in 1923. Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Leipsista were from East Thrace (3), Asia Minor (142), Pontus (85) and the Caucasus (8) in 1926. The 1928 Greek census recorded 1592 town inhabitants. In 1928, the refugee families numbered 239 (978 people). The town mosque was destroyed and some remnants of its masonry were incorporated in the foundations of the Financial Tax Office building.
