== Name == Linguist Kostas Oikonomou states the toponym is probably derived from Albanian word çotill/ë -a meaning 'the stamp, the wood with which butter is beaten'. It stems from the Albanian toçill/ë, -a 'potter's wheel' and through transposition is from a Slavic word rendered in Bulgarian as točilo and in Serbian točilj meaning 'anvil'.
