History
The name derives from the Lithuanian word pelėdnagis (literally 'one with owl's claws') which means 'ham-fisted, dummy'. Pelėdnagiai has been known since 1659. There was the Pelėdnagiai manor (some of its buildings are still present nearby the Nevėžis river) and watermill. During the Soviet era Pelėdnagiai largely developed as it was a central settlement of Kėdainiai forestry farm and an administration of the Directorate of Land Development and Building ().
