ArchivesRe: Doruntina
in reply to a message by Frollein Gladys
I tried as well to find out something about Doruntina when I was building my own name database back then, but without success.
It does not sound much like a typical native Albanian name, but like an Albanian form of a Latin name or at least a name from a Romance language. But I have no idea which name could be the base.

My first thought when I first read about Doruntinë was the feeling of "missing someone" in albanian the word "mall" can prescribe the feeling of missing a person or place etc. The reason I felt like that is that in my mother tongue this feeling, mall , os called "Doru" and Doru n'tine means the feeling of missing badly someone. My mother tongue is Aromanian or as we call it armãneashti or rrãmãneshti. Dor means as well pain. As a verb means "it hurts = dori"

"I missed you" in aromanian (armãneashti/rrãmãneshti) is "Mi llo doru ti tine" In albanian "më mori malli për ty"
