Njuric

Njuric is a South Slavic surname, commonly anglicized without diacritics as Njuric. In its native orthography it appears as Njurić. The name is typically patronymic, formed with the suffix -ić meaning “son of” or “descendant of.” The underlying root is not uniformly attested across families, and it may derive from a given name, a nickname, or an occupational reference associated with an ancestor. Spelling without diacritics is common in international contexts.

Njuric is concentrated in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, especially Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, with smaller communities in Serbia. It is also found among the diaspora in North America, Western Europe, and Australia. Variants include Njurić and other regional spellings, reflecting language and immigration histories.

In scholarly and genealogical contexts, Njuric appears in civil registries and church records dating back several centuries, often tied to particular towns or regions such as Dalmatia, Lika, or Hercegovina. As with many surnames, individual family histories vary, and current bearers may be dispersed across multiple countries.
