Negades (Greek: Νεγάδες, Aromanian: Neațiańi, Ńigădz)[2] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
Name
[edit]The toponym is in the feminine form derived from the surname Negas, where it was formed to indicate the Nega family and the place where they settled.[3] The surname Negas is derived from the Slavic nega, meaning 'joy, cheerfulness', a word used in the formation of many Slavic personal names, and is also a surname used by Albanian speakers, as Neg/ë.[4] The Slavic sound g shifted to γ in Greek within the toponym.[4] The suffix ades is common in Epirus and Corfu.[4]
Demographics
[edit]The village is inhabited by Greeks, and an Aromanian community which has assimilated into the local population.[2]
