Overview

The village is mentioned at least since 15th century as private community which was passed from one nobleman to another. Sometimes after 1422 it changed its name from Ninai (or Nyna / Ninye) to Mynai. In 16th century the village belonged to Uzh domini which was governed by some member of Drugeth family. Among some members of the family Gabor Drugeth owned some land lots in Mynai since 1453. It is assumed by some local history researchers (Ludvik Filip) that the name of the village derived from some of its owners Mynayi to whom the village belonged in 1422–1424. According to "Geographic dictionary of Hungary" by Elek Fényes, Mynai was located in Ung comitat quarter mile away from Ungvar.

The main church of the village was Sts Peter and Paul Greek Catholic church which exists since at least 1751. Beside it, there also was a reformist church (Calvinism).[1] In 1908 the church of Sts Peter and Paul was rebuilt out of stone in place of a wooden one. With arrival of the Soviet regime, the church was soon was closed after the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Mukachevo was liquidated in 1949. In 1963 the temple was turned into a warehouse. During dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Greek Catholic community was revived on 31 July 1991. On 16 October 1991 the damaged temple was handed back to the community.

At the entrance to the village is located the Theodore Romzha Theological Academy of the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Mukachevo.[1]

In 2016 as part of decommunization in Ukraine, the village's square Zhovtneva was renamed in honor of American artist of Lemko descent Andy Warhol.[2]

In 2018 a local football club owned by a chief of Chop customs[3][4] debuted in Ukrainian professional football competitions.
