Laktinje

Laktinje () is a village in the municipality of Debarca, North Macedonia. It used to be part of the former municipality of Belčišta.
Name.
Inhabitants from Laktinje associate the name of the settlement with the "Латините/Latinite" (Latins), due to there being an old graveyard in the village. Pianka Włodzimierz states it could be possible that the placename is derived from the name "Vlah'ta" or "Vlah'tin," ultimately from the form "Vlah". In Western Macedonian dialects, dropping the initial "v" and substituting it for a "h" sound before the consonant occurs sporadically is a regular phenomenon which Włodzimierz proposes could have happened in this instance. Włodzimierz also states that the name could originate from a lost appellative "лактина/Laktina" meaning 'a bend on a river or road' (as the village is located on such a bend), ultimately from the collective form "лакед/laked" < "лакътъ/Lak't".

Berry, France

Berry (; ; ) is a region located in central France. It was a province of France until "départements" replaced the provinces on 4 March 1790, when Berry became divided between the "départements" of Cher (Upper Berry) and Indre (Lower Berry).
The Berry region now consists of the departments of Cher, Indre and parts of Creuse. The city of Bourges functioned as the capital of Berry. Berry is notable as the birthplace of several kings and other members of the French royal family, and was the birthplace of the famous knight Baldwin Chauderon, who fought in the First Crusade. In the Middle Ages, Berry became the center of the Duchy of Berry's holdings. It is also known for an illuminated manuscript produced in the 14th–15th century called "Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry".
In later times, the writer George Sand spent much of her life at her Berry estate in Nohant, and Berry's landscape and specific culture figure in much of Sand's writings.
Etymology.
The name of "Berry", like that of its capital, Bourges, originated with the Gaulish tribe of the Bituriges,
who settled in the area before the Roman armies of Julius Caesar conquered Gaul. The name of the tribe gave name to the region, often mentioned in Medieval Latin sources as: "Bituria".

History.

Another difficulty came in 1271 when the Czech army conquered Trnava and its surrounding for some time. Brestovany became hereditary property of the town Trnava as of 1280, rendering its inhabitants serfs till the 1848 abolition of serfdom. In 1533 the village was invaded by the Ottoman empire, who plundered and burned it to the ground. In the 18th century the Chapel of Saint Martin and the Church of Saint John the Baptist were built there. In 1811 and 1818 fires seriously destroyed large parts of the village.
As of 1824 Brestovany belonged to Polish count Jozef Saryusz Zamoyski, who had built a neoclassical mansion there, which now houses a primary school. Later it belonged to another Polish noble, Albert Wielopolski. Both noblemen are buried at the local cemetery.
Culture and social life.
There are several remarkable historic buildings in Brestovany: the baroque Chapel of Saint Martin (1767), the baroque Church of Saint John the Baptist (1772) and the neoclassical manor house with a large park built in 1826.
