Anthrakitis (Greek: Ανθρακίτης, before 1947: Καμινιάς, Kaminias)[2][3] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
The toponym stems from the Modern Greek noun kamini, derived from the Ancient Greek kaminos and the suffix -ia, from -ea.[4] Nouns of the word such as kaminia mean 'the content or one-time product of a kiln' and kamineia 'the firing'.[4] The word is a loanword in the Romance languages, the Slavic languages and in Albanian; it is also used in Southern Italian placenames.[4]
