Flambourari (Greek: Φλαμπουράρι, Aromanian: Floru, Florlu)[2][3][4] is a Greek village and a community of the Zagori municipality.[5] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of East Zagori, of which it was a municipal district.[5] The 2021 census recorded 63 inhabitants in the village.[1] The community of Flambourari covers an area of 39.403 km2.[6]
The Greek toponym's form is feminine and derived from either the surname Flambouraris or from the profession of the same name, meaning 'flag bearer' and the root of the surname.[3] The forms Flambouraris and Flambouriaris are themselves derived from the word flambouro(n) 'flag', stemming from flamouron with the inflection of m into b and preceded by flamoulon, where the liquid denominative l-l became l-r.[3] The form is derived from Latin flammulum, a diminutive of flamma, -ae 'flame', and the Greek ending -aris, which evolved from the medieval -aris, earlier arios from the Latin -arius.[7] In Aromanian, flamburar means 'flag bearer' and is derived from the Aromanian word flambura 'flag' and the suffix -ar(i).[8]
The Aromanian name of the village is based on the personal name Floros and is derived from the Aromanian word floru meaning 'blooming, shining'.[3]
