History

edit

The Vorpsi family has been recorded in this area as a past settlement of the family before settling in mainland Tirana. The Sina family of Përcëllesh has roots with the Vorpsi family; when they settled and lived together, some Vorpsi members became Sina out of respect, and vice versa.[3][4]
