Demographics

According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Srpci (Serpça) appears as being exclusively inhabited by a Christian 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: Jank-o Arbanas, Todor son of Janko (Arbanas), Bogdan son of Arbanash, Pejo son of Bogdan (Arbanash), Stanisha son of Fatmir, Dimitri son of Stanisha (Fatmir), Niko son of Fatmir, Burnik (Burr-nik) son of Pavli, Stala son of Burrnik.[1]
