Zdunje ({{langx|mk|Здуње}}, {{langx|sq|Zdunjë}}, {{langx|tr|Zdunye}}) is a village in the municipality of Gostivar, North Macedonia.
History
Zdunje is attested in the 1467/68 Ottoman tax registry (defter) for the Nahiyah of Kalkandelen. The village had a total of 20 Christian households, 1 widow and 1 bachelor.Турски документи за историјата на македонскиот народ кн.4, Методија Соколоски, д-р Александар Стојановски, Скопје 1971
According to the 1467-68 Ottoman defter, Zdunje appears as having largely Christian Albanian anthroponomy. Due to Slavicisation, some families had a mixed Slav-Albanian anthroponomy - usually a Slavic first name and an Albanian last name or last names with Albanian patronyms and Slavic suffixes.{{cite journal|last=Rexha|first=Iljaz|title=Vendbanimet dhe popullsia albane gjatë mesjetës në hapësirën e Maqedonisë së sotme: Sipas burimeve sllave dhe osmane|url=https://www.ceeol.com/search/article-detail?id=70066|journal=Gjurmime Albanologjike: Seria e Shkencave Historike|issue=41–42|year=2011|pages=115}} The names are: Gjorgji Arbanas; Mill, son of Doksa; Daba, of his brother; Mano Arbanas (t.
