    Default Albanian name meaning

    Can anyone tell me what the name Arbėn means I really like this name. Everyone has told me some thing different someone told me it's a forest, someone told me it's an ancient Albanian tribe, and someone told me it was a person from Albanian mythology. So what does this name actually mean cannot seem to get a straight answer?

    It literally means “Albanian”, it comes from the oldest ethnonym Albanians used for themselves

    The Albanians, these tigers of mountain wars ... have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battle-field, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse. But he has no horse, nor proper weapons for battle. Instead of the horse, he has a lance which strikes as lightning, he has spears who's points are full of posion as the sting of hornets, he has also a wooden bow with some arrows. Furthermore, he is stronger than iron ...

    Thank you so much someone was telling me that it was the name of someone from ancient Albanian mythology. So glad to finally no this is not true and it is just the name of the Albanian. Someone also told me that it was the name of one of the ancient albanian gods but I guess these things arent true.
