arbën

→ Aromanian: arbines

desctree

→ Greek: αρβανός (arvanós)
→ Bulgarian: арбанаш (arbanaš)
→ Romanian: arbănaș

* The term represents the name of a south Illyrian tribe attested in Ancient Greek (Ancient Greek Ἀλβανοί (Albanoí)), later on denoting a proper name for an ethnic Albanian until (around) the eighteenth century when it was replaced with Albanian shqiptar (see shqip). It is attributed directly to a Latin rendering of the tribal name Latin albanus by Orel.
* Observed since the 2nd century BC, the History of the World written by Polybius, mentions a location named Arbona Ancient Greek Ἄρβωνα (Árbōna), Latin Arbo in which some Illyrian troops, under Queen Teuta, scattered and fled to in order to escape the Romans. Arbona was perhaps an island in Liburnia or another location within Illyria.
*In the 6th century AD, Stephanus of Byzantium, in his important geographical dictionary entitled Ethnica (Ἐθνικά), mentions a city in Illyria called Arbon Ancient Greek Ἀρβών (Arbṓn), and gives an ethnic name for its inhabitants, in two singular number forms, i.e. Arbonios Ancient Greek Ἀρβώνιος (Arbṓnios) and Ancient Greek Ἀρβωνίτης (Arbōnítēs, “Arbonites”) pl. Ancient Greek Ἀρβωνῖται (Arbōnîtai, “Arbonitai”).
