emërim

Emërim is an Albanian noun that denotes the act of appointing someone to a position or of designating a person to a function. It is most commonly used in official, legal, and administrative language to describe a formal designation to an office or role.

In public administration, emërimi refers to the formal act by which a person is given a post. This is typically effected by a government decree, decision, or other formal act and is often accompanied by publication or ceremonial aspects. Phrases such as emërimi në detyrë (appointment to duty) are standard in official documents.

Semantically, emërim is linked to the verb emëroj (to appoint) and the root emër (name). It primarily conveys an act of conferring authority or responsibility, rather than the broader sense of naming objects or places, which in Albanian is usually expressed by other terms such as emërtim.

Usage notes: Emërim is widely used in government, judiciary, and organizational contexts; it can be contested or subject to procedure, and it forms part of formal records and biographical notes.
