Njeno

Njeno is a surname of Slavic origin, primarily found in regions of the former Yugoslavia. Its etymology is not definitively established, but it is thought to be a diminutive or shortened form of longer given names or surnames, possibly related to words signifying youth or a small stature. The surname is most prevalent in Bosnia and Herzegovina, followed by Croatia and Serbia. Historically, individuals bearing the Njeno surname were largely of Orthodox or Catholic Christian faith, though its presence within Muslim communities is not unheard of. Like many surnames, Njeno has likely spread through migration and intermarriage over centuries. Notable individuals with this surname are not widely documented in international records, suggesting it is a relatively localized surname. Further genealogical research would be required to trace specific family lines and their historical movements. The exact pronunciation can vary slightly depending on regional dialect, but generally the "Nj" sound is a palatal nasal, similar to the "ny" in "canyon."
