Etymology
Albania comes from an old name outsiders used for the people there, the Albanoi, so that word became the name of the country. People who live there call the land Shqipëria, from 'shqip' meaning 'to speak clearly' and, in popular stories, linked to the 'eagle', so both names remind us of the people who live there.
