Bodrishtë (Albanian definite form: Bodrishta; Greek: Βόδριστα, romanized: Vódrista) is a village in Gjirokastër County, southern Albania.
The anthroponymy attested belonged overwhelmingly to the Albanian onomastic sphere, characterised by personal names such as Bardh, Deda, Gjin, Laluç, Gurmir, Gjon, Kola, Leka and others.
[5] Moreover, according to Schmitt the onomastic material of the tax registers allows other interpretations; in particular various local names such as (using Duka's Albanian transliteration): Miho Papapetro, Jani Makrinudhi, Andria Makrinudhi, Miho Spathari suggest the presence of a Greek speaking population.
[6] According to Doris Kyriazis, Duka's argument is wrong because the absence of the final -s does not show a lack of the Greek element, as this was quite typical in Ottoman records on areas that were undoubtedly Greek-speaking.
Another discrepancy, according to Kyriazis, was that Duka ignored the etymology of the local topology and the presence of archaic Greek place names that the Slavs had translated into their own language.
