Phytotoponyms in AlbaniaSherifaj, Mariglen (Avtor) Duri, Valbona (Avtor) oikonymphytotoponymphytonymterritoryhypsometric levelAlbaniaThis paper deals with oikonyms in Albania, named after plants. It aims to identify the phytotoponyms, their geographical distribution and influencing factors. The review of geographical, linguistic, botanical and historical sources helped to highlight 175 phytotoponyms, derived from 39 phytonyms. They were analyzed in geospatial terms using qualitative and comparative methods. The phytotoponyms named after walnut, apple and pear have a high frequency, while those named after olive, plum, cypress are rarer. Most of phytotoponyms are located in the lowlands of western Albania, while in the mountainous territories in the south and north their number decreases significantly. This work could inspire toponymy research, inform policy, reveal dialects, and document phytonyms.20252026-02-10 15:07:40Neznano27518slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji
