Résumé
Filiates (Φιλιάτες; Filat/-i) is a town and a municipality in Thesprotia, Greece. It is located in the northernmost part of the regional unit, bordering western Ioannina regional unit and southern Albania.
The region of Filiates was known as Cestrine prior to the Ottoman period. The region is named for the ancient town of Cestria, in ancient Epirus, other ancient names for which were Cammania, Ilion, Epirus, Troy, Epirus and Troia and Epirusis; the site of ancient Cestria is probably over the Albanian frontier. The modern name Filiates is the result of the conversion of a surname. According to Johann Georg von Hahn, Eqrem Çabej, Idriz Ajeti and Ali Dhrimo, the toponym Filat contains the Albanian suffix -at, widely used to form toponyms from personal names and surnames. According to Konstantinos Giakoumis, it applies to a certain Filios (diminutive of Theofilos) with the addition of the Greek ending -άτες or -άταις. Local tradition from the 19th century documents a person named Filios; he was a farrier and allegedly the first inhabitant of Filiates. Athanasios Petrides and Dimitrios Kampouroglou opined that the name descends from the Latin word filius.
Filiates is known as Filat in Albanian, and as Filat in Ottoman Turkish.
