The history of the last name Hrusti?

The surname Hrustic is of Croatian origin, originating from the region of Dalmatia on the Adriatic coast. It is believed to have originated in the 16th or 17th century, derived from the Croatian word "hrust," which means "oak." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived near or worked with oak trees.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Hrustic can be found in the parish records of the town of Šibenik, located in Dalmatia, dating back to the late 16th century. These records mention a family with the surname Hrustic living in the area at that time.

The name Hrustic is also closely associated with the island of Brač, located off the Dalmatian coast. Historical documents from the 17th and 18th centuries mention several families with this surname residing on the island, particularly in the town of Supetar.

In the 19th century, a notable figure bearing the Hrustic surname was Ivan Hrustic (1819-1887), a Croatian poet and writer from the island of Brač. His works celebrated the beauty of the Dalmatian landscape and the rich cultural heritage of the region.

Another prominent individual with the Hrustic surname was Mate Hrustic (1857-1924), a Croatian politician and lawyer from the town of Supetar on the island of Brač. He served as a member of the Dalmatian Parliament and was a strong advocate for the rights of the Croatian people in Dalmatia.

During the 20th century, the Hrustic surname continued to be associated with the Dalmatian region, particularly the islands of Brač and Hvar. One notable figure from this period was Ante Hrustic (1911-1998), a Croatian sculptor and artist from the town of Pučišća on the island of Brač. His works, which often depicted scenes from everyday life in Dalmatia, are celebrated for their attention to detail and their ability to capture the essence of the region's culture.

While the surname Hrustic is primarily found in Croatia, it has also spread to other parts of the world due to emigration. However, its roots can be traced back to the Dalmatian region, where it has a long and rich history spanning several centuries.
