Last names in Bosnia

[Bosnjakinja]

Another interesting thing is when people have surnames that are strikingly atypical for their ethnic group. Catholic Croats named Arapovic spring to mind, as well as Serbs named Hadzic (Goran Hadzic for instance).

Or Bosniaks with names like Obradovic and Brankovic.

Christians went on a pilgrimage as well, and that's how they got that name. Hadž=Hajj

Or Bosniaks with names like Obradovic and Brankovic.

These are Slavs who converted to Islam sometime in the past 150-200 years. Or descendants of nobles who didn't change their surname.

[Hurrem sultana]

It is a patronym I know it. Well Bosnia is still very Turkish influenced, apart from the language and names reflect that

Yes we are of course,since we are muslim
