Etymology

A development of mediaeval Albanian Muzaka, likely through Italian Musacchia, though the ultimate origin of the name is unclear:

• A local Albanian derivation would be from Albanian mëzak (“young calf”);

• Gjon Muzaka from Ancient Greek Μολοσσοί (Molossoí);
• Zef Jubani from Ancient Greek μουσική (mousikḗ).
