Name edit
In early 20th century, the village Arbinovo appears in the demographic work of Kanchov and map by Jaranov as Ъpбино/Ărbino, in a 1903 map as Arbino and in other documents of the period as Рбину/Rbinu.[1] Local Macedonian residents derive the village name from the Macedonian word врба/vrba for willow tree and the toponym is formed with the suffix ino, along with the additional suffix ovo.[1] Pianka Włodzimierz agrees this is the correct etymology of the placename, due to the many willow trees in Arbinovo and that loss of the initial v sound in the toponym is possible due to local Macedonian speech.[1]
Macedonian linguistics professor Petar Illievski noted that the placename Arbinovo is a hybrid toponym, Aromanian and Slavic in origin and formed from a proto-Albanian foundation and not from the forms H'rbino or Harbino.[2] The toponym is derived from the terms Arban/Alban which in the Aromanian language through metathesis of the sound a into i became Arbin alongside the Slavic suffix ovo.[2] In the Aromanian language the terms for Albanians are Arbinas/Arbines which linguist Iljaz Rexha states supports that Arbinovo in medieval times was inhabited by Albanians.[2]

Forma vllehe arbinas-arbines tregon se banorët e këtij vendbanimi mesjetar ishin me prejardhje etnike arbane, siç dëshmon edhe vetë topiku Arbinovë, e jo banorët e ardhur nga Shqipëria e sotme, sikur që gjykojnë studiuesit sllavomaqedonas."; p. 213.
