Definition: "Albania" in Greek language is a diminutive, or first name, given to women who are unmarried and belong to one family only. The feminine form is "Alba," which means "heavenly." The word Albanian comes from Latin, meaning "people of the mountain," as it refers to people living in the Alpine regions in southern Europe. The Albanians of the region are primarily descendants of the Byzantine Empire who migrated northward during the Middle Ages. They speak a language closely related to Turkish and have a unique cultural identity that is distinct from other ethnic groups in Albania, such as Greek or Macedonian. The term "Albanian" has its roots in Old Greek, where the word for a person is "Albana." The name was adopted by the Albanians in the 16th century, and it was used to refer specifically to women of marriageable age. It was also used as a title of honor or honorific. The Albanian language, which evolved from Greek into a distinct language that is closely related to Turkish, has many unique features and phonetics. The Albanian alphabet consists of 38 letters, with the first letter "A" being the accent mark. The alphabet is written in an abacus system, similar to the Arabic script. The Albanians live in several regions around Albania, including Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro, and Macedonia, and their culture has been heavily influenced by Christianity. They are known for their unique customs, such as wearing colorful clothing, carrying a cross to celebrate Holy Friday, and having a special festival called "Albania" each year.

Definition: The Greek word for "albanians" is "Albani". It originates in the Old Testament when Jesus said, "A certain man named Joses was a Jew." This statement was made by Judas Iscariot to betray Christ at the Last Supper. The word Albanian derives from the ancient Greek word ἄλβνα ('alban') meaning "a land" or "country," and ὑστάν ('stain' or 'smoke'). The term "Albanians" is also derived from this, suggesting it may have been a reference to a specific ethnic group. The exact definition of Albanian can vary depending on the context. Some sources suggest it could refer to a specific ethnic group in Albania, though more information and scholarly studies would be needed to confirm or refute this theory. However, there is no clear historical evidence linking an Albanian group to the Old Testament figure Joses. It's possible that "Albanians" was simply used as a term for the region of modern-day Albania. In the Bible, it's stated that Jesus said, "And I will make you a nation like this one," which implies a specific ethnic group or people from the land of Canaan. However, without more context or direct reference to the Hebrew word "Alban," this interpretation could be debated on its basis alone.
