. In Turkish census from 1560, one of the Belgrade's tekija, administered by the dervishes who vowed to poverty, was located there. Before it was urbanized, the area was known for its vineyards, orchards (owned by the dervishes) and farms. The area was mentioned by the names ''Dedija'', ''Mala Dedija'', ''Dedina'', ''Dedino brdo'' (literally, old man's hill; Serbian ''deda'' means old man, elder, grandfather). Origin of the name may be the fact that the superiors of the dervishes were called ''dedo'' (elder). The name spread and was accepted so when the

What is today considered as the best known parts of Dedinje, like ''Tolstojeva'' or ''Užička'' streets, were not originally part of the settlement, as it emerged more to the south.

He gave an example of the massive "castle" built by the media magnate Željko Mitrović in the heart of the most distinguished part of Dedinje, the Užička Street: "financially powerful, heavily backed by politicians, and culturally deformed investor, builds a mansion of extreme distasteful kitsch architecture, with a string of urbanistic deceits".
