Selo (Albanian definite form: Seloja, Greek: Σελλειό) is a village in Gjirokastër County, southern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality of Dropull.[1]

Name

In the Ottoman register of 1431, the placename is rendered as Selyani.[2] Linguists Max Vasmer and Yordan Zaimov state the village toponym is from a local name Селяни, Selyani derived from село, selo a Bulgarian word which means 'village' and the suffix яне, yane.[2] Linguist Xhelal Ylli writes it is difficult to determine whether Selo is the continuation of the assumed, old name Selo or the shortened form of Selyani.[2] For the first case, Ylli says the old document would only contain a resident's name, which is erroneously recorded as a village name in the Ottoman register.[2]

Demographics

The village is inhabited by Greeks and the population was 285 in 1992.[3]
