Žerovjane (Macedonian: Жеровјане, Albanian: Zherovjan) is a village in the municipality of Bogovinje, North Macedonia.

History

[edit]

According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Žerovjane appears as being largely inhabited by an Orthodox Christian Albanian population. Due to Slavicisation, some families had a mixed Slav-Albanian anthroponomy - usually a Slavic first name and an Albanian last name or last names with Albanian patronyms and Slavic suffixes.

The names are: Petko (Petër), son of Gjon; Dimitri Arbanas (t. Arnaut); Nikolisha Arbanas (t. Arnaut); Velko Arbanas (t. Arnaut); Milush Drll-iq; Mustafa Agrijan; widow Dona; Lazar Arbanas; Ivan, son of Gjon; Nikolla, the son of Tona.[1]

According to the 1942 Albanian census, Žerovjane was inhabited by 277 Muslim Albanians.[2]

In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, the village of Bogovinje was inhabited by 60 Orthodox Bulgarians.[3]
