Etymology
Attested as ota قچانیك kaçanik 1660, it Cacianich, it Caccianico, 1689, it Kazianick 1700. The town was reportedly founded, or perhaps renovated, by Grand Vizir Koca Sinan Pasha Koxha Sinan Pasha, whose epithet suffixed with the Slavic suffix sq -nik became the name of the town. The devoicing of /d͡ʒ/ in this context is characteristic of Albanian, most likely due to influenc of the sq kaca- kaça- prefixoid, and also observed in the corradical sq koçobash.
Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi, by folk etymology, explained it as a derivation from ota قاچان kaçan fleeing, for the full anecdote read the quote at ota قچانیك kaçanik.
