Skore (Albanian definite form: Skoreja, Greek: Σχωριάδες) is one of the six villages of the former commune of Pogon, in southern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Dropull.[2]
Name
[edit | edit source]In 1431 the toponym is listed as Uskoroyadis.[3] Linguist Yordan Zaimov reconstructs the form as Сковради, Skorovadi and derives it from Old Slavic, from сковрада, Skorovada meaning 'coal pan; pan' and Ylli writes is not supported by the oldest evidence of the name.[3] He states an adjectival formation, сковрада+-уд, Skorovada+-ud would have yielded Скоражда, Skorazhda and no reliable basic form can be reconstructed from the oldest evidence.[3]
The name may be related to Bulgarian скоро ядещ, skoro yadesh as a term for 'someone who eats quickly'.[3] Ylli writes a formation from a personal name Скоро, Skoro and a family name is also possible, but the second part would be unclear.[3] In both cases, only the first part is preserved in the present form.[3]
Demographics
[edit | edit source]Skore is a Greek speaking village.[4][5] Inhabitants are Christians and the population was 394 in 1992.[6] According to a 2014 report by the Albanian government, there were 492 Greeks in the village.[7] Inhabitants who migrated from Skore went to Rafina in Greece.[8]
Notable people
[edit | edit source]- Nikolaos Kalyvas (1898/1900 - 1944),[9] Greek trade unionist and deputy minister of Labour during the Axis occupation of Greece, killed by OPLA.
