The history of the last name Agic

The surname AGIC originates from the region of present-day Croatia, dating back to the 14th century. It is believed to have derived from the old Croatian word "Agići," which referred to members of a particular clan or family group. This name was prominent among noble families in the coastal areas of Dalmatia and the islands of the Adriatic Sea.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the AGIC surname can be found in a manuscript from the Dubrovnik archives, dated 1387, which mentions a nobleman named Ivan AGIC. This document provides evidence of the name's existence during the medieval period in the region.

In the 15th century, the AGIC family gained significant recognition when Marko AGIC (1425-1497) became a prominent merchant and diplomat, representing the Republic of Ragusa (present-day Dubrovnik) in trade negotiations with neighboring states. His success and influence contributed to the name's prestige during that era.

The town of Agići, located on the island of Korčula, is believed to have been named after the AGIC family, who were among the earliest settlers in the area. This place name serves as a testament to the surname's historical significance in the region.

In the 17th century, a notable figure bearing the AGIC surname was Nikola AGIC (1620-1683), a renowned scholar and writer who contributed to the development of the Croatian literary language. His works, which covered a range of subjects, including philosophy and history, were highly influential during his time.

Another prominent individual was Mihovil AGIC (1767-1835), a military officer who served in the Napoleonic Wars and later became a respected political figure in the Austrian Empire. His leadership and bravery on the battlefield earned him several honors and awards.

Throughout the centuries, the AGIC surname has been documented in various historical records, genealogical archives, and local chronicles, solidifying its enduring presence in the region.
