Lukovo, Struga

Lukovo is a village in Struga Municipality, in North Macedonia.

Latinski Dabje is the name of a nearby mountain in Lukovo.

It takes its name from Latini which in the Middle Ages was used by Slavic and Aromanian Orthodox communities to refer to Catholic Albanians.

[1] Lukovo is attested in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a village in the timar of Saadi Hoca in the vilayet of Dulgoberda.

The settlement had a total of 11 households and the anthroponymy recorded depicts a predominantly Slavic character, although Albanian personal names are also attested (e.g., Gjergj Brateshi), alluding to Albanian-Slavic cohabitation or symbiosis.
