History
According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Malo Turčane appears as being largely inhabited by an Orthodox Christian Albanian population.

The names are:Lazar Arbanas; Nikolla, son of Gjin; Rajk-o, his brother; Pop Nikolla; Rela, son of Gjin; Vlad-ko, son of Gjin; Nikolla, son of Gjin; Rajk-a, son of Nikolla; Dimitri, son of Nikolla; Ugrin Protogjer.[1]
