History[]

According to the local tradition, the village name derives from Radi (Bulgarian: Ради)—a young, unruly and brave Bulgarian—who lived in the time of Ottoman rule in Bulgaria. The village in which Radi lived the river Potoka^{[clarification needed]} and the modern village Voisil. The Turks kidnapped some of the prettiest girls in the village; at evening he gathered a dozen men, and together they slaughtered the Turks and freed the girls. In order to escape revenge, they ran in the thick forest; the Turks began to hunt for them so they could kill them, but could not find them. They discovered the location of Radi's house and burned it.

After this, Radi and the men settled at the place which today is Radinovo. However, this is against tradition.^{[clarification needed]} The historic information say otherwise, and according to it, Radinovo is an old village founded during the Middle Ages, and witnessed the Ottoman invasion. The earliest information about the village are recorded in the 1472 register, where the village is described as "Village Radin Ova Gereban" (Bulgarian: Село Радин Ова Геберан) a part of Filibe (nowadays Plovdiv). Information about the village under the names "Village Radnevo, falling towards Filibe"^{[clarification needed]} and "Village Radinova" of Filibe, in the entire—short—register of the Ottoman Empire of 1530.
