Laktinje (Macedonian: Лактиње) is a village in the municipality of Debarca, North Macedonia.
Inhabitants from Laktinje associate the name of the settlement with the Латините/Latinite (Latins), due to there being an old graveyard in the village.
[1] Pianka Włodzimierz states it could be possible that the placename is derived from the name Vlah'ta or Vlah'tin, ultimately from the form Vlah.
[1] In Western Macedonian dialects, dropping the initial v and substituting it for a h sound before the consonant occurs sporadically is a regular phenomenon which Włodzimierz proposes could have happened in this instance.
[1] Włodzimierz also states that the name could originate from a lost appellative лактина/Laktina meaning 'a bend on a river or road' (as the village is located on such a bend), ultimately from the collective form лакед/laked < лакътъ/Lak't.
