From the site of Ukrainian
Heraldry: "The village was found at 1957 by association
of villages Beregdyida and Mezevgomok. Mezevgomok is
Hungarian-Slovak village in Nadtysans'kyi region. Its lands were
owned by Gomoki family. The arms is bishop Mikulash with mitre
and bishop's staff in hands.
Beregdyida is Hungarian village located for 5 kilometers to west
from Berehovo. On western part of the village is located
"To-var" fortress. This small fortress has a diameter
of 25 meters and rounds by 3 earthen shaft. It placed in the
centre of an impassable bog and had only through 2 wooden bridges
of 400 meters length constructed on the oak poles, placed in two
lines. First time the "To-var" was mentioned at 1274.
The arm is fortress wall with embrasures."

In 1910 Beregdéda has got 896 Hungarian and 2 other inhabitants,
Mezohomok has got 252 Hungarian and 8 Ruthenian inhabitants. I
think Slovakians settled to the village in 1920-1939.. but the
1989 census haven"t found any Slovakians in the villages..
Beregdéda was the tenure of Erzsébet Szilágyi mother of King
Mathias (1458-1490), later tenure of János Korvin son of King
Mathias. The people of Déda is Calvinist - the fourth field of
the Coat of Arms relates to them. (The Coat of Arms of the
Hungarian Calvinist Church and Debrecen
city).
