==Etymology== Despite the fact that the name Preveza is attested in the Chronicle of the Morea (, , ), in the narratives referring to the suppression of the rebellious prince of the Despotate of Epirus, Nikephoros I, which occurred in 1290, this does not prove that the city existed in that period. The name is commonly regarded as originally deriving from the Slavic word , meaning 'passage', but transmitted via an Albanian form , 'transportation, crossing'. These words correspond to the ancient Greek word pereosis (), which means passing across, pointing to it as a likely ultimate origin of the name.
