Dritëro

Dritëro is a masculine given name of Albanian origin. The name comes from the Albanian word dritë, meaning light, with the addition of the common masculine suffix -ro, yielding a meaning such as "light-bringer" or "one who brings light." It is used primarily among Albanian-speaking populations, including Albania and the Albanian diaspora.

The name is associated with several notable Albanian figures, among them Dritëro Agolli (1931–2017), a prominent poet and writer who played a leading role in 20th-century Albanian literature and public cultural life.

Variants and related names include Drita, a feminine form meaning "the light." While Dritëro is primarily masculine, its root form dritë connects to related Albanian given names that emphasize light and illumination in their meanings.
