The initial German name of the settlement was Wigandsdorff, meaning "Wigand's village". In the 15th century, the name was distorted to Weigsdorf, and this name was used both in German and Czech. The modern Czech name Višňová is an adjective derived from the Czech word višeň, i.e. 'sour cherry'. The municipality and village of Weigsdorf were renamed Višňová in 1948.
