Oreino (Greek: Ορεινό, before 1928: Μποζανίκον, Bozanikon)[2][3] is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece.
Name
The toponym stems from the Slavic form božanikъ.[4] It originates from the Slavic personal name Božan, feminine Božana, derived from the word bogъ 'god' and the ending -jan(ъ), feminine -jana, where the Slavic velar consonant g shifted to ž before the j.[4] The placename has the suffix -ikъ.[4]
