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.[1] 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.[1] 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.[1]

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.[2] 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.[2] 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.[2]

Во имениците се јавува и насловната форма која е добиена по аналогија на многу честите имиња на -ово (спор. Аржаново м.'Ржано)... Со право народот го сврзува ова име со апелативот врба. Ова е топографско име образувано со суф. -ино. Во селото има многу врби. Отпаѓањето на почетното в- во ваквтаа позиција во месниот говор е возможно."

"Në rrethinën e Ohrit na del një vendbanim me formën arumune-sllave me bazën e protoshqipes Arbinovo.[34] Emri i këtij topiku lidhet me bazën etnike Arban-Alban, formuar me ndërmjetësimin e arumunishtes Arbin me ndërndërrimin fonetik të kësaj gjuhe a:i, dhe sufiksit sllav-ovo, siç e ka thënë onomasti Petar Ilijevski dhe nuk ka të bëjë me format H’rbino dhe Harbino. Forma vllehe arbinas-arbines tregon se banorët e këtij vendbanimi mesjetar ishin me prejardhje etnike arbane, siç dëshmon edhe vetë topiku Arbinovë, e jo banorët e ardhur nga Shqipëria e sotme, sikur që gjykojnë studiuesit sllavomaqedonas."; p. 213.
