Krytha's name has its origin in the medieval Albanian tribe of Kryethi.[1][2] It is alternatively known as Krytha e Katërkollës to differentiate by another village of the same to the north of Ulcinj, Krytha e Ulqinit.
Venetian diplomat Mariano Bolizza who travelled in the area in 1614 recorded that it was a Catholic village with 30 households and 75 men-in-arms commanded by Gjur Çeka.[3]
