Arbërie

Arbërie is a modern Albanian name directly derived from 'Arbëria', the historical name for the region inhabited by Albanians. The term 'Arbër' or 'Arbëresh' was used to refer to Albanians in the Middle Ages, and it is from this root that the modern name for the country, Shqipëria, and its people, Shqiptarë, evolved. The name Arbërie thus carries a strong sense of national identity and historical connection to the Albanian land and people.

The name gained popularity in Albania and among the Albanian diaspora, particularly in the 20th century, as a way to honor the nation's heritage and express patriotism. It is almost exclusively used as a female given name, despite the historical term 'Arbëria' referring to a land.
