Name
The Greek toponym's form is feminine, from the surname Flambouraris or from the profession Flambouraris, 'flag bearer', where the surname is derived.[3] The forms Flambouraris and Flambouriaris from the word flambouro(n) 'flag', stemming from flamouron with inflection m into b and preceded by flamoulon with the liquid denominative l-l becoming l-r.[3] The form is derived from Latin flammulum, diminutive of flamma, -ae 'flame' and the Greek ending -aris stemming from the medieval -aris, earlier arios from the Latin -arius.[7] In Aromanian, flamburar means 'flag bearer' and derived from the Aromanian word flambura 'flag' and the suffix -ar(i).[8]
The Aromanian name of the village stems from the personal name Floros, derived from the Aromanian word floru meaning 'blooming, shining'.[3]
Demographics
Flambourari has an Aromanian population and is an Aromanian speaking village.[2][3][4] In the early 21st century, elderly people were bilingual in the community language and Greek, whereas younger residents under 40 might have understood the community language but did not use it.[9]
