Armata (Greek: Άρματα, before 1928: Αρμάτοβον, Armatovon;[2][3] Aromanian: Armatã)[4] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. The village is situated on the right bank of the Vjosa river.[5]
Name
The placename is derived from the personal name Armatos and the Slavic ending -ovo, a suffix which became productive in Greek, as shown by the toponyms in -ovo with a Greek subject or andronyms.[6] The personal name Armatos comes from the medieval term armatos, indicating a 'Byzantine armed soldier' from the Latin armatus meaning 'armed'.[7]
Demographics
Armata has an Aromanian population and is an Aromanian speaking village.[8][4] In the early 21st century, elderly people were bilingual in the community language and Greek, whereas younger residents under 40 might have understood the community language but did not use it.[9]
