Yeah, its also a name used among Albanians , both surname and first name. Its Slavic in origin. But the people who carry it ain't of such origin. We also use other Slavic names. I know an Albanian guy with first name Sokol. Albanians used to have Slavic names. And we adopted Slavic words. It's normal. Same way we adopted Turkish , Latin etc.

Yeah, probably from back when you were mostly Orthodox.

Is the Y dna of Enver Hoxha known?

No. I don't think it is known. I'll check.

Is this true or fake? What is your source?

My source is the Albanian YDNA project who have tested some of these peoples relatives. I have taken all the results from there.

Indeed there was a time when we were largely Orthodox I believe . I saw many Albanians of those times had Slavic names. We also took some Slavic brides.

I have some more , some less known others more known internationally but I think there should be more tested. Will update more later.

I wish Macedonians can organise this and get DNA from our revolutionaries somehow. Instead we are too busy selling our name.

Yeah, it is fun and interesting and it can disprove a lot of myths or claims. It was claimed Frasheri were of Aromanian origin but by the looks of it they do not seem to be so. It was also claimed some Albanian tribes shared common origin but such origin rather seems distant from what I have seen. Though it seems to be true. Also some people just have joined tribes etc.

I would like to see more Albanjan personalities tested.

Serbs have done the same thing to some extent. It was claimed Karadorde was of Kelmendi Gheg origin but based on a tested relative this is most likely not true.

Albanians also contributed a lot to the Ottoman Empire from soldiers to generals etc. I would of loved to see the clades of some of those Albanians.
