The history of the last name Cabatic

The surname CABATIC has its origins in the Dalmatian region of Croatia, dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to be derived from the Old Croatian word "kabatić," which referred to a type of peasant cloak or jacket worn by rural folk in the region.

Early records show variations in the spelling, such as "Kabatich" and "Kabatic," reflecting the name's evolution over time. The surname is thought to have been adopted as a descriptive name, referring to individuals who were known for wearing or producing these distinctive cloaks.

One of the earliest documented mentions of the CABATIC surname can be found in the records of the Dubrovnik Republic, a prominent maritime city-state in the region. The name appears in a register of trades and professions from the late 16th century, indicating the presence of individuals involved in the production or trade of these cloaks.

In the 17th century, the CABATIC surname began to spread beyond Dalmatia as families migrated to other parts of Croatia and neighboring regions. Notable individuals from this period include Marko Cabatic (1612-1678), a merchant and landowner in the town of Šibenik, and Jure Cabatic (1632-1701), a respected scholar and theologian who served as a professor at the University of Zagreb.

The 18th century saw the CABATIC surname gain further prominence, with several individuals leaving their mark in various fields. Ivan Cabatic (1725-1795) was a renowned architect who contributed to the design of several churches and public buildings in Dalmatia. Meanwhile, Kata Cabatic (1748-1822) was a celebrated weaver and textile artist, known for her intricate designs and mastery of traditional Croatian weaving techniques.

As the CABATIC family dispersed across Croatia and neighboring regions, the surname also found its way into other cultures and languages. In the 19th century, variants such as "Kabatić" and "Kabatic" appeared in Serbian and Bosnian records, reflecting the migration patterns and cultural exchanges of the time.

Throughout history, the CABATIC surname has been associated with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including artisans, merchants, scholars, and professionals. While the name's origins can be traced back to the humble peasant cloaks of Dalmatia, it has evolved to represent a rich cultural heritage and a legacy of resilience and adaptation.
