Shaholli Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The name, Shaholli, has either a Turkish or a Persian meaning. The first Shaholli was Avdulla Shaholli who was born in Voskop, a small town in Korça (Albania). He wasn't born with that name but he was given it after he received the title of "Shah of Sham". Sham used to be a region in Syria. He was given that title by the Ottoman Empire because he went to school in Istanbul at that time. Albania used to be under Ottoman rule back then. Some Albanians were given important titles by the Ottomans. Olli is apparently a Turkish suffix. That is how he got the last name Shaholli. His son then returned to Albania and married an Albanian woman. He lived there his whole life and that is the reason why there's mostly Albanians with that last name.
