Most of the toponyms of Albania were recorded in “The History of Albania” by "Musa Kalankatli" However, research has shown that the place names mentioned in this source are divided into two groups: those reflecting the names of tribes that lived in Albania, and those consisting of words indicating the positive and negative forms of the terrain.
The first group includes names such as Habant, Arajank, Arandjinak, Aranrot, Gargars, Goroz, Kangark, Kolb, Kolt, Medz-Arank, Medz-Kolmank, Pazkank, Trtu, Tuchkatak, Chol, Chur, Kharklank, and Khunakert, among others. These toponyms reflect the names of Turkic-origin tribes that lived in Albania, such as Abant, Araz, Aran, Gargar, Gorus, Kangar, Kol (Kul), Chol (Chul), Pecheneg, Tartar, Katak, and Hun.🇦🇿
The toponyms Lpink, Lubnas, Hereti, and Xeni of Albania, on the other hand, reflect the names of tribes of Dagestani origin.
