**Rogami** ([Cyrillic](/source/Cyrillic_script): Рогами) was a historical [Albanian tribe](/source/Albanian_tribes) in the [Middle Ages](/source/Middle_Ages).[1] They inhabited the [Brda (Montenegro)](/source/Brda_(Montenegro)) area in central and eastern Montenegro, being centered around the region of [Piperi](/source/Piperi_(tribe)). Toponyms related to them can be found in many parts of the region.

The name *Rogami* is a compound of the Albanian words *rogë* (meaning 'clearing') and *amë* (meaning 'spring'). It appears in many locations throughout Brda and Malësia. *Rogame* is the name of a village of the Piperi, being mentioned since in 1455 (nominally divided into Gornji and Donji Rogami), while *Rogami* appears as the name of a mountain in [Montenegro](/source/Montenegro). The name *Roge* appears as one of the places where the [Kuči](/source/Ku%C4%8Di) would hold meetings and gatherings. The neighborhood's of *Rogami* in [Podgorica](/source/Podgorica), as well as *Rogame* in [Tuzi Municipality](/source/Tuzi_Municipality) are also linked to the tribe.[2]

In the 1416-17 Venetian cadaster of Shkodër the surname *Rogami* appears in a few different villages. The village of Martan is headed by *Nikolla Rogami*, and is inhabited by a certain *Konstantin Rogami* among others. *Pal, Gusman and Zorz Rogami* inhabit the villages of Bardh, Somes and Vulkatan respectively. Members of the tribe are also mentioned in a few other villages.[3]

In the 1485 Ottoman cadaster of the sanjak of Shkodër the village of *Rogam* is mentioned as one of the villages forming the nahija of Piperi. The village has 11 households and could be an annual 550 ducats. The heads of the households were: *Milan* and *Tanush* sons of *Vuçrin*, *Nokaç*and *Lazar* sons of *Progon*, *Radla* son of *Petko*, *Dabzhiv* son of *Gjorgji*, *Gjoçko* son of *Blin*, *Vuksan* son of *Grubaç*, *Vuçeta* son of *Bezhan* and lastly the households of *Nikolla Bashiqi* and *Progonaç Braniqi*. The names of the village suggest it was starting to undergo a process of [Slavicisation](/source/Slavicisation).[4]
