Elafotopos (Greek: Ελαφότοπος, before 1928: Τσερβάρι, Tservari)[2][3] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
Name
The village was recorded as Tservari in a chrysobull from 1361 by Serbian ruler Simeon Uroš to feudal lord John Tzafa Orsini Douka.[4] The toponym is derived from the Aromanian țerbu 'deer', from Latin cervus, and the Aromanian (and Romanian) suffix -ărie often associated with subjects of words denoting animals.[4]
Demographics
The village is inhabited by Greeks, and some Sarakatsani who settled in the village during the early 20th century.[5] The Sarakatsani are Greek speakers.[6]
