== Name == The name of the settlement was recorded in Latin as Drivastum. Albanian Drisht derives from Drivastum through Albanian phonetic changes, however it has been noted that the accentual pattern found in Drísht < Drívastum presupposes an "Adriatic Illyrian" intermediary. Drisht follows Albanian continuity from the Latin Drivastum
