The toponym of Cerkovinë is of Slavic origin, derived from crkva ("church", Bulgarian tsъrkva, tserkva) and -ovina (a locative suffix) to mean "place of churches".[citation needed] Cerkovinë's territory is mainly composed of hills full of hundreds of years old olive trees and vineyards. The major products of Cerkovinë are grapes and olives. The hills in front of the sea and a typical Mediterranean climate make Cerkovinë a perfect place for vineyards and olives. In Cerkovinë there is the only salt factory in Albania which has occupied a huge field from the Cerkovinë's territory between the village and the seashore.
