Srpci (Macedonian Cyrillic: Српци) is a village 12 kilometers away from Bitola, which is the second largest city in North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Capari.
According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Srpci (Serpça) appears as being exclusively inhabited by a 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: Jank-o Arbanas, Todor son of Janko (Arbanas), Bogdan son of Arbanash, Pejo son of Bogdan (Arbanash), Stanisha son of Fatmir, Dimitri son of Stanisha (Fatmir), Niko son of Fatmir, Burnik (Burr-nik) son of Pavli, Stala son of Burrnik.[1]
According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 65 inhabitants.[2] Ethnic groups in the village include:[2][3]
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.[4]
