Makrino (Greek: Μακρίνο, Aromanian: Măkrinu)[2] is a village and a community of the Zagori municipality.[3] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of East Zagori, of which it was a municipal district.[3] The 2021 census recorded 30 inhabitants in the village.[1] The community of Makrino covers an area of 20.147 km2.[4]
Name
The toponym Makrino has been rendered in several forms such as Makryno(n), derived paretymologically from the Greek word for long and Makrini, based on folk etymologies or alternate explanations devised by local scholars about the name or locality.[5] For example, such as an association with an icon of St. Macrina located nearby the village, the baptismal name Makrini or local remains being linked with the ancient city of Paroraia.[2] These forms differ from the local Aromanian form and pronunciation of the placename which is Măkrin(u).[2] The toponym is derived from the Slavic word mokrino, earlier mokrinъno meaning 'wet place' from the Slavic word mokrъ 'wet' and within the placename, the Slavic o is rendered as a in Greek.[5]
Demographics
The population of Makrino are hellenised Aromanians.[6] Makrino was an Aromanian speaking village and over several decades the language declined in favour of Greek.[5]
