Derviçan (Albanian: Derviçani; Δερβιτσάνη|''Dervitsani'', also known as Dervician) is a settlement in the former Dropull i Poshtëm municipality, Gjirokastër County, southern Albania.[1] At the 2015 local government reform it became part of the municipality Dropull.[2] It is within the larger Dropull region. The village is inhabited solely by Greeks.
In 1991, the political organization Omonoia was founded in Dervican, by representatives of the Greek national minority.[3]
In 2023, the Albanian prime minister Edi Rama unveiled the statue of Konstantinos Mitsotakis, the first Greek prime minister who visited Albania after the fall of communism, as a symbol of coexistence and unity between Albanians and Greeks.[4]
In the 1520 Ottoman tax register the Albanian anthroponyms Gjon and Gjin as well as others are found in the village of Derviçan, which appears in the same register with a fairly large population for the time, with a large influence by Greek culture. Characteristic Albanian anthroponyms include: Jani Gjini, Gjin Spato, Gjon Jorgji, Jorgo Gjoni, Nako Bard(h)i, Jorgo Babi, Mano Çuni, Jani Çuni, Kosta Lula, Mano Shpata, Lluka Prushi, Dhimo Prushi, Jani Dragoi and others.[5]
