The first written mention of Košúty was in 1397 as a village named Cosuthfalua, when belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary. The name is derived from a personal name of Slavic origin Košút (the Hungarian transcription Kossuth, see also etymology). This is supported also by another record stating that the village was owned by Andrew, son of Kosuth and by its later name Udwarch a. n. Kosswthfalwa – "Court or Košut's village" (1489).[2]

A history of the village is closely tied to the House of Kossuth.
