/ʃc͡ɕipəˈɾi/

From shqip + -ëri.
historically, from shkyp + -ëni, old pronunciation of shqipoj, from Latin excipiere. still called Shkypënia by conservative dialects in the north. changed to dialectal Shqipëri in the 19th century to associate it with the word for eagle shqipe, which derived from Proto-Celtic *sklubos (“eagle”). compare Welsh ysglyf (“bird of prey”)
Petar Skok suggested that this word is originated from Scupi (Shkupi), the capital of the Roman province of Dardania (today's Skopje). According to Petar Skok, the Albanian demonym Shkuptar (as in inhabitant of Skopje) changed to Shkiptar, which is still used among Arvanite Albanians in Greece, and later to Shqiptar.

From Latin Dyrrhachium, from Ancient Greek Δυρράχιον (Durrhákhion). The modern Albanian pronunciation is derived from either the Latin or Greek source. However, the modern Albanian form, including the Italian form, derive through intermediate palatalized antecedent form as Latin Durratio, attested in the early centuries AD. The presevation of Old Doric Greek /u/ indicates the modern name derives from populations to whom the toponym was known in its original Doric pronunciation. The modern Albanian name evolved independently from the parent language of Albanian around the same period of the post-Roman era in the first centuries AD, observable through the differences in stress in the two toponyms (first syllable in Albanian, second in Italian) highlights.
In English usage, the Italian borrowing Durazzo used to be widespread, but the local Albanian borrowing Durrës has gradually replaced it in recent decades.

Prishtina

Uncertain. Multiple theories exist:
* Hamp connected the word with an Indo-European derivative *pṛ-tu- (ford) + *stein (cognate to English stone) which in Proto-Albanian, spoken in the region before the reign of Roman Emperor Trajan (1st-2nd century CE) produced Pristina. Thus the name in the pre-Slavic migrations era would mean in the local Albanian variety "ford-stone"
* Ernst Eichler suggests a connection with the Emperor Primus Justinianus who is thought to have built the town of Pristina. He sees the term Pristina as a composition of his name.
* Possibly derived from dialectal Proto-Slavic *pryščina (“spring of water”), from *pryskati (“to splash, to spray”). Alternatively, possibly derived from Proto-Slavic *Prišьčь (“of Prishek”) (compare Kajkavian Serbo-Croatian Prišek, a surname, and Old Polish Parzyszek, a personal name) + derivational suffix *-ina. According to Aleksandar Loma, Snoj's etymology would presuppose a rare and relatively late word formation process. According to Loma, the name of the city could be derived from the Proto-Slavic dialectal word *pryščina, meaning "spring (of water)", which is also attested in the Moravian dialects of Czech; it is derived from the verb *pryskati, meaning "to splash" or "to spray" (prskati in modern Serbian).

Shaban

From Ottoman Turkish شعبان (Şaban), from Arabic شَعَب (šaʕab, “Sha'aban”).

in Albanian folklore, the final stage of a dhampir


Tomor

Unknown. A mountain with the same name exists in Berat, Albania, and other places also share a similar name, namely Tomorrica in Skrapar, Τόμαρος (Tómaros) and Illyrian *Temus, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰh₁s-o-. Altogether suggests a common Illyrian origin. Alternatively related to marr (obtain, get), thus meaning "obtainer".


Verbti

Said to mean "the blind one", from Albanian verboj (“to go blind”), but this is most probably folk etymology. The term probably derives from Proto-Albanian *uērb-, from Proto-Indo-European *uer-b(h)- (“to revolve, twist, turn (down)”). Compare vorbull (“whirlpool”).

uder

A storm god in Albanian mythology, brother of Shurdhi (“the deaf one”)

Borrowed through Vulgar Latin from Latin brūmārius (compare Romanian brumar (“November”), Friulian brumâr (“winter”), also French Brumaire), from brūma (“winter, mist”) (compare Romanian brumă (“frost”)).


dorza

Unknown. Maybe from dorë, with the meaning "to harvest by hand"


djegqerrës

From djeg + qerre, literally "month in which wagons burn", of unknown meaning. Note archaic Serbian and Macedonian коложег (koložeg), also a compound of коло (kolo, “wheel”) + жег (žeg, “warmth”), which may point to an old regional isogloss.

Name of a giant and mighty figure in Albanian mythology (similar to Gigantes, Titans in Greek mythology). See Albanian Dodë for more.

Krahe and Lambertz have theorized that Gjin is in fact a Christianization of a pre-Christian Albanian figure.

Probably close to Latin gēns (“clan, tribe, family”). Along with Progon, the first attested Albanian Christian name.
