Albania is the name of the country attested in Medieval Latin. The name has derived from the Illyrian tribe of the Albanoi and their capital in Albanopolis that was noted by Ptolemy in ancient times. Previously, Albanians called their country "Arbëri" or "Arbëni" and referred to themselves as "Arbëreshë" or "Arbëneshë" until the sixteenth century as the toponym "Shqipëria" or "Shqypnia" and the endonym "Shqiptarë" or "Shqyptarë" gradually replaced "Arbëria" and "Arbëresh". The terms "Shqipëria" and "Shqiptarë" are popularly interpreted respectively as the "Land of Eagles" and "Children of Eagles" / "Eagle-Men".
