    Default Help me with the origins of another surname please!

    Here is another one I've never heard of: Hlavati.

    I'm going to guess it's one of these:
    - Albanian
    - Hungarian
    - Croatian
    - Georgian

    as I can't imagine anything else. But I may be way off. Someone help?

    It's definitely not Albanian.

    I googled it & the hits seem to be either Hungarian or Czech-related.

    Georgian last names all end with 'shvili' or just 'vili'. I am not sure if ALL of them, but I haven't seen a Georgian who's last name didn't end with 'vili'.

    EDIT: and 'dzi', 'ia', 'lava' and 'aki'.

    It's Serbian/Croatian apparently from my Facebook search.

    Also for some reason a lot of black people from Zimbabwe have it (why?)
