The history of the last name Krmpotich

The surname KRMPOTICH is believed to have originated in Croatia, a country situated in southeastern Europe along the Adriatic Sea. Historically, this name traces its roots back to the late 15th century, during the time of the Ottoman conquests in the Balkans.

The name KRMPOTICH is thought to be derived from the Croatian word "krmpot," which loosely translates to "potato peel" or "potato skin." It is speculated that the name may have been bestowed upon an ancestor who worked as a farmer or in agriculture, cultivating and harvesting potatoes.

Earliest records of the KRMPOTICH name can be found in the archives of the city of Split, located on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. These documents, dating back to the late 1400s, mention individuals with variations of the name, such as KRMPOTICICH and KRMPOTOVICH.

One of the earliest known bearers of the KRMPOTICH surname was Ivan KRMPOTICH, a merchant and landowner who lived in the village of Podstrana, near Split, in the early 16th century. Historical records indicate that he was involved in the trade of agricultural goods, including potatoes.

Another notable figure was Marija KRMPOTICH, a Croatian noblewoman who lived in the 17th century. She was known for her philanthropic efforts and her support of local churches and monasteries in the Dalmatian region.

In the 19th century, a prominent KRMPOTICH was Ante KRMPOTICH (1822-1895), a Croatian politician and lawyer who served as a member of the Croatian Parliament. He was an advocate for Croatian autonomy within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The KRMPOTICH surname also made its way to North America, with one of the earliest recorded immigrants being Petar KRMPOTICH, who arrived in New York City from Croatia in 1893. He settled in the Croatian community of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he worked as a coal miner.

While the KRMPOTICH name may not be as widely known as some other Croatian surnames, it carries a rich history and connection to the agricultural roots of the Croatian people. The name's endurance over centuries serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of its bearers.
