Gjokaj is an Albanian surname of the Triepshi (tribe) clan of Malësia region of southeastern Montenegro.
In Edith Durham’s book, she describes what was said by a Malësor of the Hot tribe in one of the many villages she explored in the highland regions of northern Albania in 1909: “And half the tribe of Triepshi, the stem of Bakechi, is of Hoti blood.
They are not our blood; they come from Kopliku.
Triepshi belongs to Montenegro now, but is all Catholic.” (Durham, 1909)[1]
