Španje

January 01, 1970

The Španje (Cyrillic: Шпањe)[a] were a medieval people who inhabited parts of Upper Zeta and the region of Nikšić, in present-day Montenegro. They were considered to be descended from an indigenous Balkan people who preceded the Slavs in the area.

Geography edit

They inhabited the region of Nikšić and the valley of the river Zeta in modern-day Montenegro.[1] They have left traces in some toponyms from Montenegro, such as Španjska gradina in Spuž, Španjsko katunište on mount Vražegrmac, and Španji potok ("Španji Stream") in the Riječka nahija.[2][3] In Kosovo, the Švanjski most, near Gjakova, is thought to have been originally named Španjski most, after the Španje.[4][3]

Oral traditions edit

The Španje are mostly remembered through the oral traditions of Montenegrin tribes such as the Bjelopavlići, Pješivci and Cuce, and among Albanians from Northern Albania and Western Kosovo.[4] According to folk legends, they were the oldest inhabitants in the region, while also being in frequent conflict with many other tribes such as the Macure or the Bukumiri.[5][6][7]

History edit

Following the works of Jovan Erdeljanović and Petar Šobajić,[4] the Španje are generally considered a pre-Slavic, "Old Balkanic" people, namely Romanized Illyrians. They were gradually assimilated by the Slavs during the Middle Ages, mainly by the Lužani with whom they mingled.[8][4][9][10] Špiro Kulišić derives their name from Old Greek spanios, meaning 'naked', which might have been used by Greeks for the Illyrian inhabitants of the "naked" karst mountains; similarly, the name Pješivci derives from Slavic plješiv meaning 'bald', and could have been attributed to the inhabitants of those "naked" mountains (in Serbian, the demonym would be golobrđani).[11]

Some scholars consider them to have been of Albanian origin.[12][13]

Legacy edit

The Albanian Spani family, active in Shkodër and Drivast in the 14th and 15th centuries, might have been related to the Španje.[14][15] It is also presumed that the noble Španić family of Korčula originated from the Spani, as well as one of its branches who lived in Šibenik.[14]

In present-day Montenegro, surnames can be found stemming from the Španj root. As a nickname or family name, Španj can also be used, with a potentially offensive meaning at its basis. Some old Pješivci brotherhoods, some of which have a separate or even lower social status, are said to be descended from the Španje. In the old Katunska Nahija, it was considered an insult to call someone "Španja from Španja" (Serbian: Španja od Španja).[14]
