History

According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Gorjane appears as being inhabited by an Albanian population. Due to Slavicisation, some families had a mixed Slav-Albanian anthroponomy - usually a Slavic first name and an Albanian last name or last names with Albanian patronyms and Slavic suffixes.

The names are: Marko Arbanas; Lazor (herder), Grgur; Nikolla, his son; Petro, son of Boja.[1]
