Lefter Talo (Greek: Λευτέρη Τάλλιος) is a village in the former commune of Livadhe, Vlorë County, southern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became a subdivision of the municipality of Finiq.[1] At 1993 the total population of the village was 178, all of them part of the Greek community in Albania.[2]

Name

The name Lefter Talo (Lefteris Talios in Greek) was given to the village by the authorities of the People's Republic of Albania to honor a local Greek resistance leader[3] (Hero of the People recipient). The former name of the village was Hajdëragas and was of Albanian origin[4] with its suffix (-aga) coming from the Turkish title agha.[3] At the Ottoman registers of 1895 it was recorded as Hadir-aga or Haidar-aga.[5] It derived from the name of an Ottoman-era landowner who was in possession of the settlement.[6]
