Many inhabited places in Imathia Prefecture of Greece have both Turksh and Greek forms. Some of the forms are identifiably of Greek origin, others of Turkish or more obscure origins. Following the First World War and the Graeco-Turkish War which followed, the Greek government undertook a renaming program to place Greek names first on places with Turkophonic, and later on those with Slavophonic names.
