Demographics

edit

According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Radišani appears as being inhabited by an Orthodox Albanian population. Due to Slavicisation, some families had a mixed Slav-Albanian anthroponomy - usually a Slavic first name and an Albanian last name or last names with Albanian patronyms and Slavic suffixes.

The names are: Gjura Arbanas (t.Arnaut), Oliver son of Kolja, Stajo son of Stan-ko, Petro son of Krista, Dosa son of Span, Dan-o his brother, Todor son of Dragush, Nikola Arbanas, Pejo his son, Stepan son of Rajka, Marin his brother, Nikola Kumar.[1]

In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900 showed that 140 Bulgarian Exarchists and 50 Muslim Albanians inhabited Radišani[2] (Albanian: Radishan).

According to the 2021 census, the settlement had a total of 6.066 inhabitants.[3] Ethnic groups in the village include:[3]
