përte

Përte is a proper noun that appears in Albanian-language contexts, primarily as a surname and, less commonly, as a toponym. It is not a widely documented term in contemporary standard Albanian usage. In Albanian orthography, the common word meaning "beyond" is fərtej? No—përtej. The form “Përte” may reflect an archaic, dialectal, or variant spelling that occurs in older documents or in family names, rather than a distinct, widely used vocabulary item today.

As a surname, Përte is rare but attested among families in Albanian-speaking regions, including parts of Albania and Kosovo. Surnames in Albanian often originate from places, landscapes, or local features, so it is possible that the name derives from a locality described by a form similar to “përte” or from a term used in reference to a boundary or landmark relative to a settlement.

In toponymy, when encountered, Përte may designate a small locality or microtoponym that has not achieved prominence in national maps. It is more commonly found as part of compound names or in historical records rather than as the primary name of a major settlement.

Notable people or organizations bearing the name are not widely recorded in English-language sources. The term is therefore of particular interest to researchers in linguistic, genealogical, or regional historical contexts.
