Areti (Greek: Αρετή, before 1955: Γκρίμπιανη, Gkrimpiani)[2][3] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. Ancient ruins are located nearby the village, identified with Trambya or Trambyla, an ancient Epirote city.[4]
Name
The village is recorded in the Chronicle of Ioannina (1389) as Vrimbiani, although linguist Kostas Oikonomou states it ought to be rendered as G(k)rimbiani.[4] The toponym stems from the Slavic form Gribjane, indicating 'the inhabitants of Gribi'.[4] The Slavic suffix -jane, plural -jani is used in placename formations where nouns denote the inhabitants of the area or members of a household, in reference to the subject.[4] The etymology of Gribi is derived from the Slavic noun gribъ 'mushroom'.[4][5] The village is located in an area abundant in mushrooms from April to May and September to October.[5] The 19th century derivation of Gribiani by the scholar Panagiotis Aravantinos is a false etymology from the Greek Epirote word g(k)rybóz 'hunchback'.[4] The new name Areti means 'virtue' in Greek.[5]
History
During the Ottoman period, the village was located in the mountains and was often inaccessible, which secluded it from the Ottoman authorities who controlled the plain.[6] In the early 20th century Ottoman rule ended and the village was moved down toward a more accessible location.[6] The original village location became known as Paliogribiani 'old Gribiani', while the new settlement was named Gribiani, later renamed as Areti.[7]
