Name Meaning

Albanian: status name from hoxhë (definite form hoxha) ‘khoja’, a title for an Islamic religious teacher or a priest, and also for a scribe or a clerk in the Ottoman Empire, itself of Turkish and ultimately of Persian origin (see Khawaja , compare Khoja ). This is by far the most common Albanian surname in Albania, while in Kosovo it is in the second half of the dozen most frequent surnames.
