Godinje (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Годиње) is a village in Montenegro, in the municipality of Bar. It is located on a hill overlooking Lake Skadar, and belongs to the Crmnička nahija. The village is the ancestral home of the Lekovići and Nikač brotherhoods. In 1977, a resident of Godinje would still say, more than half-seriously, "In Godinje, everyone's surname is Leković",[1] a reminder of a time when family clans lived in mountainous isolation in Montenegro.
