Hmmm interesting.
Korçë is named differently in other languages: Aromanian: Curceaua, Curceao or Curciau; Serbian, Bulgarian and Macedonian: Горица, Goritsa; Greek: Κορυτσά, Korytsa; Italian: Coriza; Turkish: Görice. .The current name is of Slavic origin[6] The word "gorica" means "hill"[7] in South Slavic languages, and is a very common toponym in Albania and Slavic countries (e.g. Podgorica in Montenegro, Gorizia, Dolna Gorica in the Pustec municipality, and so on). It is diminutive of the Slavic toponym "gora", meaning mountain, which is also found in placenames throughout Slavic countries as well as non-Slavic countries like Albania, Greece and Italy.
