Kul Ioannis och Jannis!

Hittade lite mer "därom tvista di lärde" om Plaka på engelska Wikipedia: Här om Plaka i Athen. Olika teorier alltså, där också lån från albanska (plak) i betydelsen "gammal" finns:

"Some have suggested that the toponym Plaka derives from the Arvanitika Pliak Athena, meaning 'Old Athens'; from Albanian plak 'old'.[7][8] Others have suggested that it derives from the presence of a plaque (Greek: πλάκα; romanized: plaka) which once marked its central intersection.[5] The latter view is also supported by linguist Charalampos Symeonides (2010), who stated that Plaka is a common Medieval and Modern Greek toponym that can be found throughout Greece, and is attested as early as 1089; in the case of Athens, it denoted a place with ancient plaques or marbles
