Neapoli (Greek: Νεάπολη, before 1928: Λειψίστα – Leipsista),[2][3][4] is a town in the Kozani regional unit of West Macedonia in northern Greece.
[7] Linguist Max Vasmer states the toponym was Lěvšišče and cognate with the Serbo–Croatian Lepšić, a personal name derived from the Slavic word lěp meaning "nice".
[8] Linguist Konstantinos Oikonomou derives the toponym from the Albanian word lafsh/ë referring to the plumage or plume of a rooster.
[11][3] In Greek, the form Anaselitsa (Ανασελίτσα), derived from a nearby village Seltsa (modern Eratyra) was also used for the town and the wider area until the late 1920s.
[15] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Leipsista were from East Thrace (3), Asia Minor (142), Pontus (85) and the Caucasus (8) in 1926.
