Origin
Meaning and origin of Redzovic
The surname Redzovic is of Slavic origin, specifically from the Balkan region of Southeastern Europe. It is believed to have originated in the area that is now modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, dating back to the 15th or 16th century.
The name is likely derived from the Slavic root word "red," which means "order" or "regularity." It is possible that the name Redzovic was initially given to individuals who were known for their orderly or disciplined nature, or perhaps to those who held positions of authority or maintained order within their communities.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Redzovic can be found in the Ottoman tax records (defter) from the late 16th century, where several individuals with this surname were listed as residents of various villages in the region of Bosnia.
In the 17th century, a notable figure bearing the name Redzovic was Hasan Redzovic, a prominent Ottoman military commander and statesman who served as the governor of the Eyalet of Bosnia between 1640 and 1648.
Another historical figure with this surname was Ibrahim Redzovic, a Bosnian scholar and writer who lived in the late 18th century. He is best known for his work "Annals of Bosnia," a chronicle that documented the history and events of the region during his lifetime.
In the 19th century, a prominent Bosnian family with the Redzovic surname played a significant role in the cultural and political life of the region. One member of this family, Mehmed Redzovic (1829-1901), was a renowned poet and playwright who made significant contributions to the development of Bosnian literature.
During the same period, Osman Redzovic (1841-1913) was a prominent Bosnian politician and statesman who served as the mayor of Sarajevo and played a crucial role in the modernization and development of the city.
It is worth noting that variations in spelling, such as Redžović, Redzovic, or Redžović, may have existed throughout history due to linguistic and cultural influences in the region.
Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Redzovic

The bar chart below shows how Redzovic bearers described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Redzovic surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?
No. The Census Bureau only publishes surnames that appeared at least 100 times in a given decennial Census. That means very rare surnames are excluded entirely, and a surname can appear in one Census release but disappear from a later one if it falls below the reporting threshold.

There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy.
