Tašmaruništa (Macedonian: Ташмаруништа) is a village in the municipality of Struga, North Macedonia.

Name[]

The placename Tašmaruništa is a hybrid toponym formed from two terms, the Turkish word Taş meaning stone or rock alongside the Slavic Moruništa, which itself is formed from the word Morun and the suffix išta.[1] Within an older map done by the village is recorded as Moroništa and Pianka Włodzimierz notes that it would not be inconceivable that the sound u has been substituted for o.[1] Regarding the term Morun, Włodzimierz proposes that it could be from the word Moruna, a term for sturgeon fish (Acipenser huso) or from Morun, a personal name stemming from the Greco-Latin Maron, and similar to the name Marin.[1] Of the second context, Włodzimierz contends it could have served as patronymic name as in the nearby toponym Labuništa - Albanopolis alongside the structural function and transformation of the suffix.[1] Włodzimierz notes more research of older documentation needs to be done to be able to resolve that issue.[1]

History[]

During the mid-fourteenth century, Aromanians possibly were the inhabitants of Golema Vlaj, a settlement that was partially north of Struga located on the current site of modern Tašmaruništa.[2]

Demographics[]

In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, the village of Tašmaruništa was inhabited by 400 Bulgarian Christians and 70 Muslim Albanians.[3]

"Благодарение на Хан, јасен ни е постанокот на името Ташморуништа. Тоа се состои од турскиот збор таш 'камен, карпа' и македонски топоним Моруништа (Хан бележи на картата: Moronischta, но таква замена на u>o соседство на три сонанта не е ништо чудно, поготово што тоа го забележал странец). Во топонимов се изделува суф. -ишта и основата на именката моруна вид риба "Acipenser huso", или пак основата Морун- која можеме да ја споредиме со основите содржани во топонимите Лабуништа и Солун (с.63), која би одговарала на лат. - грчко Maron- (спор. Марона кај Тахос). Тоа можело да биде лично име (спор. сх име Марин) и тогаш би имале овде патронимично име, или пак некој топоним (спор. Лабуништа - Albanopolis), што би било пример за структурална функција на овој суфикс. Да се реши ова прашање би требало да располагаме со записи од пос��аро време."
