When it was founded, the village was German named Neusiedel. The name changed during the process of Magyarization to the Hungarian name Ujhely. When the Banat annexed to Romania, in 1918, the name of the village was Romanized to Ujhely / Uiheiu.
Uiheiul was one of the newer settlers villages in Banat. It was established in 1844 more than one hundred years prior to the beginning of colonisation of other nearby villages (Grabaţ, Bulgăruş, Lenauheim, Iecea Mare, Sandra) but also in comparison to Banat villages. Much of the early settlers were tobacco growers.
