Doliana (Greek: Δολιανά) is a village in the Ioannina Regional Unit in Epirus, northwestern Greece.

Name

Ioannis Lambridis wrote the Dholiana had the meaning 'low place' and Linguist Max Vasmer etymologically attributed it to the Slavic Doljane 'inhabitant of the valley' derived from the Slavic dolъ 'the valley' and the suffix -jani.[2]

Notable people

Georgios Gennadios, a prominent figure in the Modern Greek Enlightenment, was raised in the village[3] although he was born in Thrace.[4]
