Modri

Modri is a term that can refer to several things, most notably a nickname for the Croatian national football team and its players. The name "Modri" translates to "The Blues" in Croatian, a direct reference to the distinctive blue color of the team's traditional jerseys. This moniker has become deeply ingrained in the national consciousness and is widely used by fans, media, and even players themselves when referring to the team. The success of the Croatian football team on the international stage, particularly their runners-up finish in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, has further amplified the recognition and affection associated with the name "Modri".

Beyond the football context, "Modri" can also be a surname of Croatian origin. Like many surnames, it likely originated from a descriptive or occupational source, though specific etymological details can vary. Individuals bearing the surname Modri can be found in Croatia and in the Croatian diaspora worldwide. The prevalence of the surname is relatively modest compared to more common names. Without further context, identifying a specific individual or a universally recognized entity beyond the football team requires additional information.
