General information
The Institute of Neohellenic Research, recognizing the importance of study of toponyms (place names) in Greek history, has included in its research activities the study of names of settlements and lesser place names, in the framework of its Research Program ‘Historical study of settlements in Greece (15th-20th centuries)’.
A product of the above program is the current database, ‘Name Changes of Settlements in Greece’, which aims at recording the name changes effected through official administrative acts.
For the time being, the database covers the acts recorded between 1913-1962, a period during which the practice of changing the names of settlements and communities became more frequent, due to the admission of new territories into the Greek state, and to administrative rearrangements at the local level.
4.075 instances of renaming have been recorded so far, distributed geographically as follows: Macedonia 1.759, Peloponnese 750, Sterea Hellas 474, Thessaly 443, Ipeiros 390, Thrace 92, Crete 77, Aegean Islands 58, Ionian Islands 32. In separate fields of the database are recorded the prefecture, the province, the municipality or the community to which the settlement belongs, the code of the settlement, its name at the time of its renaming and the new name that it received, any variations of the old or the new name, the date of the official renaming act and the Official Journal in which it was published.
Leonidas Kallivretakis is the Research Director of the Program, Dimitris Dimitropoulos had the scientific oversight of the current project, while Katerina Dede assured the systematic documentation, organization, verification and updating of the material, as well as the final editing of the database. Eleni Kyramargiou collaborated also in the final stages of the project.

*The project 'PANDEKTIS - A Digital Thesaurus of Primary Sources for Greek History and Culture' is developed by the National Hellenic Research Foundation under the framework 'Digital Greece' ( http://www.psifiakiellada.gr) and is co-financed at 75% by the European Union - European Regional Development Fund and at 25% by the Greek Public Domain

Though they haven't got them all completely right (i.e. adding an "n" to the end of some of the original Macedonian names, somewhat still "hellenizing" them), this is quite a significant development.

That's because they are translating the names from Greek text. For example, Gornichevo in Greek letters is Gkornitsovon, Sveti Apostoli is Agioi Apostoloi, Gorno Kalenik is Ano Kalenik, etc.

Name Changes in Modern Greece: 1913 - 2009
Flying Horses of a different Color (Neo-Governments)

The Greek-speaking Arvanovlach didn't just change the names of the villages, towns, cities, rivers, mountains, etc., they also changed people's personal names. Everyone, from the Macedonians to the Vlach, Arvanite, the prosfyges from Asia Minor and the Ponti all got new names.

It's a sick joke just how artificial today's Modern Greeks and their Hellenic Disneyland are. You'd have to be suffering some kind of mass psychosis to live in this racist hole. The European Union has really outdone itself here by supporting Greece's insane policies.

Just look at the propaganda Greece pumps out.

Greek authorities change the names of the toponyms and place names as well as people's personal names, they force everyone to speak an ahistorical version of Greek, a fabricated language. The indigenous languages have all been criminalized.

Then they use this degeneracy to claim that because all the place names and personal names are "Greek" and because everyone speaks "Greek" today's modern Greek speaking populations are the "legitimate" heirs of the ancient Greeks. This is absolute nonsense, it's disgraceful how the EU kowtows to this sick behaviour.

And of course Greece is Europe's "pure" country with no minorities. Didn't that sort of thing go out with the NAZIs? Apparently not, the European Union keeps this kind of behaviour alive and kicking.

The only thing "pure" here is the European Unions stupidity for tolerating and covering up this sort of behaviour.

And these EU kooks presume to prance about the world complaining about the human rights practices outside the EU -- but never do they complain about the extremely racist policies of the EU member states themselves. Ignorant European hypocrites. The EU big wigs should be laughed out of every capital in the world.

Greece is pulling the European Union and NATO around by the nose. It just goes to show you what the EU and NATO are all about - they are certainly not about democracy, justice or human rights. Just look at the kind of horrific behaviour they support in Greece.

Shame on the European Union and shame on NATO.

Makster,

When you picked up RMK off waivers you caught his razors edge ..



PS He's even got me doing it sega.

All of the information on that site should be backed up ASAP, the Greeks will remove this, trust me.

The vilage my family are from is completly wrong, i wonder how many more are wrong... the first two letters are correct then it just goes off the rails.

I'm sure Macedonians have their own lists, plus there are the maps that existed before Macedonia was partitioned. Those can act as references as well.

looks like they have pulled the information out of fear of over exposure? typical athenian move again (run from the facts) ..

Cowards, they removed the pages listing the name changes.

Hellenic turds.
