History of the Garani village in FYROM

Upvote:2

It appears this may be based on Gorani, which are an ethnic group found throughtout the Gora Region. (Searching led to one site which stated Gorani as an alternate to Garani). The village name may also just refer to location, as the translation for Gorani is 'highlanders', and Gora means mountains. So this may just be regional for 'Mountain village'.

The reference to the Gora region, even though this village is not within it, is for a possible root to the name of the village, or possibly a namesake type situation. The U.S. is full of towns that were named, by their founders, after their home towns in England or Europe. Perhaps the founders of Garani came from this region or were of that ethnic group.
