Beci is divided into two sections - Beci i Epër (Upper Beci) and Beci i Poshtëm (Lower Beci). In the cadastral documents of the Sanjak of Shkodra in 1485, the village is mentioned with the name Beçi.[2][3]

The inhabitants of Beci recorded in the 1485 Ottoman defter bore Christian Albanian and Slavic names with a total of 14 households. Albanian names were used in combination with other types of names such as: 'Pepa son of Dragush', 'Leka son of Gjorgj', 'Stepan son of Tanush, Stanisha his brother', 'Mazarak'.[4]

Anthropology

Beci is inhabited by a near-absolute majority of ethnic Albanians, and most of the inhabitants traditionally belonged to a single Albanian tribal brotherhood around 300 years ago - the Mërturi-Berisha. The village was traditionally divided into 4 neighbourhoods - the neighbourhoods of the Biblekët, Ndreajt, Salcët and Tetajt. The Muslim and Catholic Albanians here belong to the same brotherhood.[5] There is also a family that hails from the Krasniqi tribe and one that hails from the Thaçi tribe.[6]
