History

According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Gorno Palčište appears as being largely inhabited by an Orthodox Christian Albanian population. Due to Slavicisation, some families had a mixed Slav-Albanian anthroponomy - usually a Slavic first name and an Albanian last name or last names with Albanian patronyms and Slavic suffixes.

The names are: Lazor, son of Arbanas; Gjon Arbanas; Dejan, his son; Gjergji Arbanas; Ivan, son of Dren; Dimitri, his son; Gjuri-ca Dralla; Lazor govedar (herder); Dobroslav, his brother; Mitran, his brother; Toni star (old man); Dejan, his son; Gjon the son-in-law of Radoslav; Kola, son of Zahari; Gjurgji, son of Zahari.[1]
