Once,a traveler was traveling near the place where today is situated the city of Tirana.He saw a villager who was cleaning the sand(in albanian it is called "tir rërë".He was away from the villager so he shouted: "Where are we?".The villager thought that the traveler was asking "what are you doing",so he answered "Po tir ranë"(which means I am cleaning sand ,but it is dialectal).So the traveler thought that the villager said "Në Tiranë"(In Tiranë),so the name of that place remained Tirana.
Well,I dont know how exact this is,because it is just a legend,but it would be cool adding it,so the people would read it just for curiosity.--[[User:Jurgenalbanian|Jurgenalbanian]] ([[User talk:Jurgenalbanian|talk]]) 14:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
::I think your claim needs further research and verification. Actually the most credible account of the origin of the name Tirana is still indeed it being a jocular reference to Tehran which was started by its founder Sulejman Bargjini. The source you have provided is not credible, and the same source implies the Ottomans had captured Tehran, which is not a historical fact either. Bargjini's goal was to capture Tehran after reaching Tabriz and he vowed to do so the following year, and after failing to do so he founded Tirana (Tehran) in Albania - this would also be consistent with a Turkish pronunciation of Tehran. The alleged existence of the "Venetian record", which supposedly counters this fact, is a recent claim that was started by someone in Wikipedia and it has never been verified by anyone aside from the link. Internet sources that make this same revisionist claim are all based on this Wikipedia article! Albania itself does not have much indigenous historical record to support or counter the claim on the etymology, and in fact the sources are Turkish in origin as Albania was an Ottoman territory for centuries, ending in 1912. Simply put it is contradictory to say that a single hand written Venetian document mentions "the port of Tirana" in a document supposedly dating to 1418, and then claiming that Tirana was founded in 1618 - which - oh yea coincides with a peak period of warfare between Persia and the Ottoman empire in the region of [[Tabriz]] from 1585-1639 (the exact time period in which Tirana was founded, by all accounts) '''And finally, there is a 2500 year time period between the alleged "greek" source for the name and the alleged "venetian" document from 1418. How is it that in this 2500 year period we never see a single reference which refers to this area as "Tirana" or some similar name? The only thing we know for certain is that the name Tirana suddenly appears in reliable historical records starting around 1618, during the Ottoman-Persian conflicts, exactly at the time when the city Tirana was founded by Bargjini''' [[User:Xoltron|Xoltron]] ([[User talk:Xoltron|talk]]) 07:20, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

== Tirana or Tiranë ==
Line 141 ⟶ 135:
There seems to be an unofficial tradition in English-language reference of referring to Albanian cities by the definite form if feminine and the indefinite if masculine: Shkodra, Tirana, Lezha (feminine) but Burrel, Durrës, Berat (masculine). I don't know if there's any logic to it, but it's the nearest thing to a standard that seems to exist.--[[User:Hajenso|Kenji Yamada]] ([[User talk:Hajenso|talk]]) 10:33, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Tirana is called in midlle albanian dialect Tiron ( it means in albanian you are alive ).Tirana has 24 castles standing from the illyrian roman times. The article on Tirana is created from ignorants who do not know a thing about Tirana. Explanation east north of Tirana is the Saint George region the houses there are still with pelasgian, etruscan style. South of tirana is petrela and Arbana mentioned from the romans and other as proper ilyricum .
