Name

Inhabitants from Laktinje associate the name of the settlement with the ''Латините/Latinite'' (Latins), due to there being an old graveyard in the village. Pianka Włodzimierz states it could be possible that the placename is derived from the name ''Vlah'ta'' or ''Vlah'tin,'' ultimately from the form ''Vlah''. In Western Macedonian dialects, dropping the initial ''v'' and substituting it for a ''h'' sound before the consonant occurs sporadically is a regular phenomenon which Włodzimierz proposes could have happened in this instance. Włodzimierz also states that the name could originate from a lost appellative ''лактина/Laktina'' meaning 'a bend on a river or road' (as the village is located on such a bend), ultimately from the collective form ''лакед/laked'' < ''лакътъ/Lak't''. "Селаните го сврзуваат името на селото со Латините (во селото има стари гробишта). Возможно е дека е тоа изведенка од лично име *Vlaхъta или Vlaхъtin. Дека можело да постои такво име изведено од името Vlah сведочат следнив сх. лични имиња: Vlahota, Vlahuta, Dragut и Dragutin, Milut и Milutin, Milta и Miltin, Hranta, Bokta (од *Bogъta) и сл. Отпаѓањето на почетното в- во оваа позиција е редовна појава во западномакедонските говори (спор. ласеница, лашки-власеница, -влашки), а замена на х пред согласка се среќава спорадично (спор. Охрит, дијал. м. Охрид, Нектен од Нехтен и сл.). Но можеби имаме тука загубен апелатив *лактина 'завој на река или пат' (селото лежи на таков завој) во колективна форма, спор. лакед <лакътъ кој H. P.
