Name
[edit]In the late nineteenth century, the scholar Ioannis Lambridis described the geographical location of the village of Doliani as 'ravine-like' and as a 'depression'.[8] The linguist Max Vasmer derived the toponym from the Slavic dolъ meaning 'the valley', with the name Doljane indicating 'inhabitants of the valley'.[8] The linguist Kostas Oikonomou stated the village is located in a ravine, making the use of the word dolъ with its original meaning 'the hole, the pit, the ravine' applicable, aligning with the description given by Lambridis.[8]
Demographics
[edit]The population of Doliani are hellenised Aromanians.[9][5] The Aromanian language is no longer spoken in the village following a period of assimilation.[5]
