Tadijanovi

Tadijanovi is a South Slavic surname found in the regions of the former Yugoslavia, particularly in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and among related diaspora communities. In genealogical and civil records, Tadijanovi is often used as the masculine plural form referring to the Tadijan family, and can appear as an orthographic variant of the related surname Tadijanović.

The name derives from the given name Tadijan, a diminutive form linked to Tadija or Tadej. The suffix -ovi in Tadijanovi marks a family or clan association in Slavic naming practices, so the form is used to denote “the Tadijan family” or “the Tadijan descendants” in plural references.

Occurrences of Tadijanovi are relatively uncommon compared with the standard Tadijanović; usage varies by region and record type. The more common surname in contemporary Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian contexts is Tadijanović.
