Surnames in Bosnia and shifting clan names
The article recounts Bosnian surname variants tied to religion and faction. It notes families splitting between Christian and Muslim lines, with branches using Slavonic or Turkic forms such as Ratkovich versus Jenetich and Sokolich versus Shahinagich to mark lineage while maintaining kinship. It also comments on streams dwindling as forests are cleared, citing New York’s Commissioner Whipple on the upper Trudson in 1907 and attributing the loss to vanished hills and valleys once forested, contrasted with the centuries-old growth of forests and their later destruction.
