Although it is not exactly clear where the name of the village comes from, the location was first mentioned as “Phunzun” in 1030 and later as “Phanes” in 1177.
Kuigi pole täpselt selge, kust küla nimi pärineb, on paika esmakordselt mainitud kui "Phunzun" aastal 1030 ja hiljem kui "Phanes" aastal 1177.
