Otišani

Otišani (Macedonian: Отишани) is a village in the municipality of Debar, North Macedonia.

Otišani (Hotishani) is attested in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a village in the timar of Hizir Muriqi (possibly, Maziqi or Mazhiqi) in the vilayet of Dulgoberda.

The village had a total of five households and the anthroponyms recorded depict a mixed Albanian-Slavic character, for example, among the household heads a certain Gjergj Karlovići is attested.

[1] Otišani has traditionally been inhabited by a Torbeš population.
