Laramans
The term Laraman in Albanian refers to crypto-Christians who adhered to Islam officially but continued to practice Christianity within the household during the Ottoman era. It was derived from the Albanian adjective ''i larmë'', meaning "variegated, motley, two-faced", a metaphor of "two-faithed" (''l'arë''), a reference to the Laramans following both Christianity (in secret) and Islam (nominally).
