==Etymology==
The modern name for the city is the Albanian form Vlorë or Vlora, both pronounced (:ˈvlɔɾə), while in the Gheg dialect it is known as Vlonë. Vlorë was created in antiquity as a Greek colony in the territory of Illyria. Its first name was Aulón ((ギリシア語:Αυλών), also the name in modern Katharevousa), meaning "channel" or "glen" and possibly a translation of another indigenous name.〔(google book reference ): Placenames of the World: Origins and Meanings of the Names for 6,600 Countries, Cities, Territories, Natural Features, and Historic Sites By Adrian Room Published by McFarland, 2005, ISBN 978-0-7864-2248-7, 433 pages.〕 The medieval and modern Greek name is Αυλώνας /av'lonas/, accusative Αυλώνα /av'lona/, and is the source of the Italian name Valona (also used in other languages) and of the obsolete English Avlona.〔"" in the ''Encyclopædia Britannica'', 1878.〕〔Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th edition (1911), "Avlona" article.〕 During the Ottoman era, the Turkish Avlonya was also used.〔Gawrych, G.
