Tanuševci (Macedonian: Танушевци, Albanian: Tanushë) is a village in the municipality of Čučer-Sandevo, Republic of North Macedonia.

Name

[edit]

Tanuševci, in local Albanian Tanushë comes from the name Tanush. Tanush is the Albanian variant of the Greek given name Athanasius, loaned from Latin.[1] Where the fricative /θ/ becomes the stop /t/, this shows that the name passed through Latin before entering Albanian; the Greek-derived equivalent is the name and onomastic element Thanas.[2] The Albanian definite form is Tanushi. In Latin, it was written Tanusius, while in Italian Tanussio and Tanusso.
