Throughout its history, the settlement had several names: Buda Stadolitskaya → Duboyverst → Buda Lyelchytskaya. Obviously, it was associated with the production of potash, tar, or coal. Such an enterprise, located in the forest, was called a buda, and the assigned craftsmen and workers were called budniks. After the decline of production, the settlement turned into an ordinary village, which retained the name Buda. Why the village was temporarily called Stadolitskaya is unknown, as stadolay in ancient times meant a stable at an inn or a large barn. No connection with the name of the village of Stadolichy is traced, as the latter was part of the neighboring estate of Buinavichy. It is also possible that the budniks were natives of the village of Stadolichy.
The second name of the settlement – Duboyverst – a verst of oaks (?), or Dubovaya (Oak), characterizes the surrounding environment. The name Dubay likely shows the influence of Baltic toponymy. Gradually, the name Buda Lyelchytskaya became established for the village as a geographical characteristic – the village of Buda near the larger village of Lyelchitsy, as opposed to the neighboring Buda Buinavitskaya.
