Etymology[edit]
- From lëpe, lëbozë. Historically the inhabitants of the Labëria (“the land of lab”) region. Compare Illyrian *Labeati.[1]
- Alternatively a back-formation based on Labëri (“Laberia”), borrowed from an unattested South Slavic *labanьja < *olbanьja, rendering the native pre-Albanian name of the country; Albania, Ἀλβανία (Albanía). However, this is doubtful.[2]
