About Montenegrin names

Montenegro is a small country on the Adriatic, and its names carry a lot of family history for their size. Most surnames end in -ić and go back to an ancestor's given name or nickname, and many can still be traced to a bratstvo, a brotherhood inside one of the old highland clans. Krivokapić points to Cuce, Bulatović to Rovca and Radonjić to Njeguši. In the time of the prince-bishop and poet Petar II Petrović Njegoš a man was known by three names: his own, his father's with the ending -ov or -in, and the brotherhood's, as with the Kuči leader and writer Marko Miljanov Popović.

Given names today mix old Slavic names such as Vuk, Balša and Milica with saints' names such as Luka, Nikola and Anđela. Forms follow local speech, so you will meet Vjera, Snježana and Cvijeta here.

Most of this list is clan surnames paired with modern and older given names. A smaller share covers Bosniak families of the north, Albanian families of Tuzi and Ulcinj, and seafaring families of the Bay of Kotor. Many of these names are shared with neighboring countries, and the page takes no side in questions of identity, language or church. The pairings are plausible combinations, not records of real people.

How to choose Montenegrin names

  • Pick the era through the given name. Luka, Balša, Anđela and Ksenija are current, while Blažo, Krsto, Mašan, Stana and Ikonija belong to grandparents and the history books.
  • For a character of the 1800s use the three-part form: own name, the father's name with -ov or -in, then the brotherhood surname, as in Krsto Milošev Radonjić.
  • Keep the diacritics. Š, č, ć, ž and đ are letters of their own, and Đukanović or Šćepanović spelled without them is a different word to a local reader. Latin and Cyrillic are both in official use in Montenegro; this list uses Latin.
  • Let the surname place the character. Kurpejović and Kalač point to the north around Rožaje, Gjokaj and Camaj to Tuzi, and Balović or Visin to the Bay of Kotor.
  • Surnames do not change with gender, so a brother and sister are both Vukčević.

Frequently asked questions

Why do most Montenegrin surnames end in -ić?

The ending marks descent, so Pejović goes back to a man called Pejo and Šćepanović to a Šćepan. It is the usual pattern across the region, and in Montenegro such a surname often names a whole brotherhood. Not every name follows it: Mugoša, Medenica, Kilibarda and Lubarda are all on this list.

What is a three-part Montenegrin name?

It is the older way of identifying a man by his own name, his father's name and his brotherhood. The list has entries such as Savo Petrov Martinović and Krsto Milošev Radonjić, where Petrov means "Petar's" and Milošev means "Miloš's". The middle part is not a second given name and changes with every generation.

Does the list include Bosniak and Albanian names?

Yes, as a minority share, because both communities have lived in Montenegro for centuries. Examples are Lejla Kalač, Amer Kurpejović, Nik Gjokaj and Drita Camaj. The Albanian names are given in Albanian spelling.

Are these the names of real people?

No entry is meant as a real person. The given names and surnames are real and common, so a pairing like Tijana Krivokapić will match somebody by chance. The exact full names of well-known politicians and athletes were left out on purpose.
