Elevci (Macedonian: Елевци, Turkish: Elessa) is a village in the municipality of Centar Župa, North Macedonia.
Demographics
[edit]According to Ottoman tahrir defters from the 1520s, 16 villages (all present-day Centar Župa villages) associated with Kala-i Kodžadžik had no Muslim population. However, the Muslim population increased in subsequent years. This was likely part of the Islamization of Macedonia under Turkish rule.[1]
The village is inhabited by a Turkish speaking population consisting of Torbeši.[2][3][4] According to the statistics of Jovan Hadži-Vasiljević "Muslims of Our Blood in Southern Serbia" (Muslimani naše krvi u Južnoj Srbiji. Beograd 1924) from 1924, the Muslim inhabitants of the village of Elevci were Torbeši linguistically and culturally Turkified. In a survey conducted on immigrants from Elevci and Kodžadžik villages of Saruhanlı district of Manisa Province of Turkey, it confirmed that Elevci and Kodžadžik villages are Torbeši villages.[5][4]
According to the 1942 Albanian census, Gorno Elevci was inhabited by 596 Muslim Albanians and 45 Bulgarians.[6]
According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 260 inhabitants.[7] Ethnic groups in the village include:[7][4]
