Chrysorrachi (, before 1927: Ζαγόριανη, Zagoriani) is a settlement in Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. An ancient city citadel is located near the village.
Name The scholar Ioannis Lambridis described the placename as meaning 'behind the mountain, on the mountain'. The linguist Max Vasmer stated the toponym stems from the Slavic form Zagorjane referring to 'someone who lives behind the forests'. It is derived from the toponym Zagori and the demonstrative suffix -jani which indicates the inhabitants of a place.
Demographics Some Aromanians settled in the village following the interwar period.
