Many inhabited places in Pella Prefecture of Greece have both Slavic and Greek forms. Some of the forms are identifiably of Greek origin, others of Slavic, yet others of Turkish or more obscure origins. Following the First World War and the Graeco-Turkish War which followed, the Greek government undertook a renaming program to place Greek names first on places with Turkophonic, and later on those with Slavophonic names.Todor Hristov Simovski, The Inhabited Places of the Aegean Macedonia (Skopje 1998), , pp. XXXVIII-XLII.
