 In Ukrainian a word Zelenyi means green.A local historian Leontiy Pokhylevych in his book "The legends about settlements in Kiev Governorate", published in 1864, wrote, "The village of Myronivka received its name from a free settler Myron Zelenyi.The village consisted (it is then, 130 years ago) of seven ends (kutky) or parts, the actual Myronivka where the church is, Solomakhivka, Nebytivka, Sloboda, Okolotivka, Shafranivka, Rozmarynivka ..."

There are other legends, but in the center of each is the same name of a person Myron.
