Name
[edit]Linguist Kostas Oikonomou writes the toponym with the suffix -itis has two derivations.[3] The first Grevenitis stemming from the placename Grevena, originating from greveno 'rock' and derived from the Slavic grebenъ 'ridge', 'rock', an interpretation which Oikonomou states aligns with the Aromanian name of the village Grebenitsli and the tradition where the village was settled by inhabitants of the Grevena region.[3] The second from greveno, as in the above etymology and the suffix -itis, where grevenitis means 'place with many rocks'.[3]
Demographics
[edit]Greveniti has an Aromanian population and is an Aromanian speaking village.[2][6][7]
