The area surrounding Tuskulėnai Manor was referred to as "Tuskulėnai" (Russian: "Tuskuljany"; Polish: "Tuskulanum") until World War II. This area was also known as "Losiovka" or "Losiuvka", colloquially named after A. Losev, colonel of Special Corps of Gendarmes and later general of the Russian Empire, who owned the folwark of Tuskulėnai in 1869. The placenames are associated primarily with individual wooden houses, built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some of which are still scattered among the apartment buildings.
