Much of the Albanian name has a meaning, you do not have to think long when you can Albanian. So there are women, well the Lule (= flower) or Mirjeta (mire = jeta = life hot), and hot men, Besim (= faith) or Jetmir (see Mirjeta). A not so rare man's name is Kastrati, what made me laugh pretty when I heard him the first time. Its origin is unknown to me, but I guess it's less painful than it seems to suggest it. Perhaps it comes from the surname of the national hero Gjergj Skënderbeu = Kastrioti.
