| Abstract: | This paper is a research into toponymy and anthroponymy in Himara, a province where very controversial linguistic problems exist. One can notice these issues even in onomastics, a field in which the linguistic clash between Albanian and Greek is salient. This study discusses the current state of toponyms in the context of the materials collected in the field, aiming at providing a concrete contribution to this domain. By reviewing today’s toponyms, the analysis will consider the factors that have led to the creation of the most frequent paradigms of geographical toponymic derivatives. In addition to historical and religious factors that influenced the coinage of early names, there are natural factors, such as the geographical position and geological configuration of the settlements, the presence of water flows, and others, as well as the patronymic background. |
