River of Vidrovets runs through the village and the houses are located adjacent slopes. Is generally believed that the name of the village - Gamzovo - origins from the grape variety "Gamza", which was widespread in the region. There is another theory (Margarita Nikolova-ethnographer in Vidin Museum / 1989 /. ) about the origin of the name: according her the name comes from the shape of the area, which is located in the village - with a long concave cup handle. This form of locality is reflected in the Turkic word "Gamza", which has parallels in the Sakha language - "hasma"; Altaic languag - "kanza", Chinese language "ganuzi" - all with same meaning - pipe (for smoking).
