Preljubište
History
According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Preljubište appears as being largely inhabited by an Orthodox Christian Albanian population. 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.
The names are: Stepan, son of Gjon; Vitan, son of Marin; Dimitri, son of Gjon; Kosta, son of Gjurgj; Gjurgji, son of Kosta; Stajk, son of Maltush; (Mal-Tush); Mili, son of Petro; Nikolla, son of Petro.
