Etymology
The Albanian name Premtë or P(ë)rende is thought to correspond regularly to the Ancient Greek counterpart Περσεφάττα ( Persephatta ), a variant of Περσεφόνη ( Persephone ). The theonyms have been traced back to the Indo-European *pers-é-bʰ(h₂)n̥t-ih₂ ("she who brings the light through"). The Albanian phrase afro dita 'come forth the day/dawn' traces back to Proto-Albanian *apro dītā 'come forth brightness of the day/dawn', from Indo-European *h₂epero déh₂itis . The theonym Aprodita is attested in Messapic inscriptions in Apulia , which is considered to be a Messapic theonym of an Indo-European
