Zvezdë

The name of the village being of Slavic origin shows that Slavs may have founded the village or at least given its name; when this happened is unclear. Possibly Bulgarians gave it its name, as they lived nearby this region as a minority, or from one of the times the Slavs ruled or migrated into Albania between the years 600–1370. For example, during the Slavic migrations to the Balkans, the First Bulgarian Empire, the Second Bulgarian Empire or the Serbian Empire.
