Name

Avlonas (Greek: Αυλώνας) is often called Avlona (Αυλώνα). This term however is wrong, since the term Avlonas which is of masculine state, should be used over the term Avlona which is of feminine state. The ancient Greek name Avlon (Αυλών) is of masculine state and therefore leaves no margins for missuse of the name. It appears that the name Αvlon is connected with the worshiping of Dionysos, since an ancient slab dedicated to Διονυσώι Αυλωνέι (Dionysos of Avlon) has been found in the area.
