Reply to: meaning of the Albanian name HAXHI?? by RosannaB
The name Haxhi is the Albanian rendition of hadji (and pronounced the same way), the title given to one who has made the greater pilgrimage (on the 8th to 10th day of the 12th month of the Muslim year) to Mecca. Hadji is an arabic word meaning pilgrim.
