Livinë ( Albanian definite form: Livina; Greek: Λιβήνα; romanized: Livína) is a small village in Vlorë County, southern Albania. [1] At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality of Finiq. [2] It is inhabited solely by Greeks. [3]
Demographics
The Ottoman defter of 1582 for the Sanjak of Delvina provides records for the village of Livinë. A significant portion of the anthroponyms recorded in the register belonged to the Albanian onomastic sphere, including personal names such as Bos, Dedë, Dodë, Gjergj, Gjin, Gjokë, Gjon, Lalë, Lekë, Muzhak, and others. However, more ambiguous or general Christian anthroponyms that were historically used by both Albanian and non-Albanian groups are also attested. In Livinë, over a third of the population recorded bore either an Albanian personal name or patronym. These figures do not take into account kinship ties shared between individuals bearing typical Albanian anthroponymy and those bearing more ambiguous names, and also do not include those bearing names that can be etymologically explained through Albanian (e.g., Bardhi, Buzmiri, Buzuku). As such the ethnic Albanian element must have represented a larger proportion. [4] According to Ottoman statistics, the village had 109 inhabitants in 1895. [5] The village had 449 inhabitants in 1993, all ethnically Greeks. [3]
