Arbinovo
Arbinovo () is a village in the municipality of Debarca, North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Belčišta. Name. In early 20th century, the village Arbinovo appears in the demographic work of Kanchov and map by Jaranov as "Ъpбино/Ărbino", in a 1903 map as "Arbino" and in other documents of the period as "Рбину/Rbinu". Local Macedonian residents derive the village name from the Macedonian word "врба/vrba" for willow tree and the toponym is formed with the suffix "ino", along with the additional suffix "ovo". Pianka Włodzimierz agrees this is the correct etymology  of the placename, due to the many willow trees in Arbinovo and that loss of the initial "v" sound in the toponym is possible due to local Macedonian speech. Macedonian linguistics professor Petar Illievski noted that the placename Arbinovo is a hybrid toponym, Aromanian and Slavic in origin and formed from a proto-Albanian foundation and not from the forms "H'rbino" or "Harbino". The topomym is derived from the terms "Arban/Alban" which in the Aromanian language through metathesis of the sound "a" into "i" became "Arbin" alongside the Slavic suffix "ovo". In the Aromanian language the terms for Albanians  are "Arbinas/Arbines" which linguist Iljaz Rexha states supports that Arbinovo in medieval times was inhabited by Albanians. Demographics. According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 26 inhabitants. Ethnic groups in the village include:
