Definition: The word "Albania" comes from the Greek, meaning "land of the Alban," a name given to a small tribe of people who lived in present-day Albania. The term has been translated into English as "Albanian" or simply "Albania." The Albanians are known for their distinctive culture and history, having played a significant role in the region's development through various empires and civilizations over millennia. They have contributed to many aspects of modern life across Europe, including art, architecture, cuisine, and literature. The word "Albania" was used by ancient Romans as part of the name for a kingdom that stretched from what is now Albania to today's Turkey and Syria. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that Albanian became a distinct people, recognized by the international community under the United Nations in 1952.
