Ano Ravenia (Greek: Άνω Ραβένια) is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. Traditionally, the village was part of the Zagori region until the construction of the Ioannina–Konitsa road.[2]
Name
In the late 19th century, the scholar Ioannis Lambridis described Ravenia as meaning a 'flat place'.[3] The linguist Max Vasmer derived the toponym from the Old Slavic ravьnъ, meaning a 'flat, level place'.[3] The linguist Kostas Oikonomou derived the placename from the adjectival-possessive ravьnja, a form which stemmed from the Slavic noun ravьnъ, with the possessive suffix -ja, masculine -jъ.[3] The Slavic stressed ь sound was rendered in Greek as e, while the grammatical gender changed from feminine to neuter.[3]
Demographics
The village is inhabited by Greeks.[4] Some Aromanians settled in the village following the interwar period.[5]
