Rakovec (Macedonian: Раковец, Albanian: Rakovec) is a village in the municipality of Bogovinje, North Macedonia.
Dobri Dol is attested in the 1467/68 Ottoman tax registry (defter) for the Nahiyah of Kalkandelen. The village had a total of 15 Christian households and 1 bachelor.[1]
According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Rakovec exhibits names almost entirely belonging to the Orthodox Christian Albanian onomastic sphere. Due to Slavicisation, some families had a mixed Slav-Albanian anthroponomy - usually a Slavic first name and an Albanian last name or last names with Albanian patronyms and Slavic suffixes.[2]
According to the 1942 Albanian census, Rakovec was inhabited by 584 Muslim Albanians.[3]
