Pršovce (Macedonian: Пршовце, Albanian: Përshec) is a village in the municipality of Tearce, North Macedonia.
The name appears in medieval records as Prushefc, from the Latin loan into Albanian pirus-prush and the Slavic suffix ovci/e.[1]
History
Pršovce is attested in the 1467/68 Ottoman tax registry (defter) for the Nahiyah of Kalkandelen. The village had a total of 61 Christian households, 3 bachelors and 3 widows.[2]
According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Pršovce exhibits mostly Slavic Orthodox anthroponomy with a small minority of Albanian ones.[3]
