I would say that it is a Euro component which is found among those Islands and as you said it's probably similar to the Balkan component, MENA components are given different namesQuote:

some components on DNAland are very overlapping. example Italian-Sardinian-Balkan-Med Islander-Ashkenazi are more or less the same, Sardinian being the most western and Islander the most southern.Quote:

As other members have said, DNA land isn't to be taken seriously in my opinion unless they are very similar to your results that you have uploaded to DNA land.
DNA Land is trash, they gave one of my family members a very high Balkan smh, the Italian roots are from Veneto so how the fuck is that possible
