The Name Theth
An old highland village name in the mountains of northern Albania.
What the name means
Theth (Albanian: Thethi) is the name of the village and its valley in the Albanian Alps of Shkodër County, in northern Albania. It is an old highland place name, the kind carried down through generations in the mountain communities of the region.
Unlike many places, Theth's name is not tied to a famous founder or a documented story — it is simply the traditional name of a remote mountain settlement. We keep the local spelling Theth, the form used in English for the village today.
