Elevci (Macedonian: Елевци, Turkish: Elessa) is a village in the municipality of Centar Župa, North Macedonia.
Demographics
According to Ottoman tahrir defters from the 1520s, 16 villages (all present-day Centar Župa villages) associated with Kala-i Kodžadžik had no Muslim population. However, the Muslim population increased in subsequent years. This was likely part of the Islamization of Macedonia under Turkish rule.[1]
In the 1901 Ethnographic Map of the Bitola Vilayet, produced by the Sofia Cartography Institute, Gorno Elevci part of the Sanjak of Dibra—is depicted as a village of 129 households with a mixed population of Bulgarians, Pomaks, Albanians, and Turks.[2]
According to the statistics of Jovan Hadži-Vasiljević "Muslims of Our Blood in Southern Serbia" (Muslimani naše krvi u Južnoj Srbiji. Beograd 1924) from 1924, the Muslim inhabitants of the village of Elevci were Torbeši linguistically and culturally Turkified.[3]
According to the 1942 Albanian census, Gorno Elevci was inhabited by 596 Muslim Albanians and 45 Bulgarians.[4]
According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 260 inhabitants.[5] Ethnic groups in the village include:[5]
