Goricë (Albanian definite form: Gorica, Greek: Γορίτσα) is a village in Gjirokastër County, southern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality of Dropull.[1]
The toponym Goricë is derived from either the Bulgarian or Serbian word гора, gora meaning 'forest, mountain' and the suffix -иц-а, -its-a.[2] Other possible derivations are from Гор-ьн-иц-a, Gor-an-itsa, or from the Albanian words gorricë, 'wild pear' or gorricë, 'barren ground' both borrowed from Slavic.[2]
