== Name == The toponym is derived either from the Aromanian furca meaning 'the fork, or distaff' or from a Latin loan rendered as fourka in common modern Greek, stemming from the medieval Greek fourka and originating from Latin furca. The word also exists in Romanian as furca and Albanian as furk/ë with the same meaning.
