Elafotopos (Greek: Ελαφότοπος, before 1928: Τσερβάρι, Tservari)[2][3] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
The village was recorded as Tservari in a chrysobull from 1361 by Serbian ruler Simeon Uroš to the feudal lord John Tzafa Orsini Douka.[4] The toponym is derived from the Aromanian țerbu 'deer', from Latin cervus, and the Aromanian (and Romanian) suffix -ărie often associated with subjects of words denoting animals.[4]
