Anthrakitis (Greek: Ανθρακίτης, before 1947: Καμινιάς, Kaminias)[2][3] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
Name
[edit]The toponym stems from the Modern Greek noun kamini, derived from the Ancient Greek kaminos and the suffix -ia, from -ea.[4] Nouns of the word such as kaminia mean 'the content or one-time product of a kiln' and kamineia 'the firing'.[4] The word is a loanword in the Romance languages, the Slavic languages and in Albanian; it is also used in Southern Italian placenames.[4]
Demographics
[edit]The village is inhabited by Greeks, Arvanite families who assimilated into the local population and some Sarakatsani who settled in the village during the early 20th century.[5] The arrival of Orthodox Albanians (locally called "Arvanites") occurred in the modern period and originate from the wider Souli area in central Greek Epirus, while the Sarakatsani are Greek speakers.[6]
