Kakodhiq (Albanian definite form: Kakodhiqi; Greek: Κακοδίκι; romanized: Kakodíqi or Kakodíki) is a village in Vlorë County, southern Albania.[1] At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality of Delvinë.[2] It is inhabited solely by ethnic Greeks.[3]
Demographics
[edit]The Ottoman defter of 1582 for the Sanjak of Delvina provides records for the village of Kakodhiq. A significant portion of the anthroponyms recorded in the register belonged to the Albanian onomastic sphere, including personal names such as Bos, Dedë, Dodë, Gjergj, Gjin, Gjokë, Gjon, Lalë, Lekë, Muzhak, and others. However, more ambiguous or general Christian anthroponyms that were historically used by both Albanian and non-Albanian groups are also attested. In Kakodhiq, a third of the population recorded bore either an Albanian personal name or patronym. These figures do not take into account kinship ties shared between individuals bearing typical Albanian anthroponymy and those bearing more ambiguous names, and also do not include those bearing names that can be etymologically explained through Albanian (e.g., Bardhi, Buzmiri, Buzuku). As such the ethnic Albanian element must have represented a larger proportion. [4]
According to Ottoman statistics, the village had 443 inhabitants in 1895.[5] The village had 211 inhabitants in 1993, all ethnically Greeks.[3]
