Kavallari (Greek: Καβαλλάρι, Aromanian: Cavalar)[2] is a village and a community of the Zagori municipality.[3] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of East Zagori, of which it was a municipal district.[3] The 2021 census recorded 57 inhabitants in the village.[1] The community of Kavallari covers an area of 21.031 km2.[4] The village is located on the northeastern side of Mt. Mitsikeli.
Name
The toponym is a proper name from the surname Kavalaris, stemming from the modern Greek kavalaris and medieval Greek kavallaris, derived from Latin caballarius 'horseman'.[5] The word also exists in Aromanian as căvălar, plural căvălari.[5]
Demographics
The village is inhabited by Greeks, and an Aromanian community along with Arvanite families who both have assimilated into the local population.[2] The arrival of Orthodox Albanians (locally called "Arvanites") occurred in the modern period and originate from the wider Souli area in central Greek Epirus.[6]
