Etymology
editKudhës and the river with the same name is related to the Albanian word kudh "pot, jug", therefore meaning "potter’s river, pot-shaped river". The toponym is formed with the Albanian nominal suffix --ëѕ, cf. Gjerbës, Krahëѕ.[3]
It was recorded as Kudes in 1431 in Ottoman defters and Coudessi in 1805 by François Pouqueville.[3]
