According to one version, the name of the town of Metsovo means «bear place» and is derived from a combination of the Slavic words «mẹčovo» («bear») and «ovo» («place» or «village»). According to information from other sources, linguistic researches do not confirm this version.
However, on the main square of the town is a monument to two bears. And I really want to believe that bears are a symbol of Metsovo from time immemorial.
