 In Communist Albania, an Illyrian origin of the Albanians (without denying ""Pelasgian" roots", a theory which has been revitalized today) continued to play a significant role in Albanian nationalism, resulting in a revival of given names supposedly of Illyrian origin, at the expense of given names associated with Christianity or Islam.This trend originated with the 19th century "Rilindja", but became more common after 1944, when it became the Socialist government’s policy to heavily discourage religious given names.Ideologically acceptable names were listed in the "Fjalor me emra njerëzish" (1982).
