Explore distinctive Montenegrin names that bring cultural depth, regional identity, and authenticity to your characters and creative worlds.
Montenegrin given names come from a range of languages and traditions, including Slavic, Greek, and Hebrew.
Many Montenegrin surnames end in -ić, which suggests that the surname in question likely started out as a patronymic name (a practice where someone used a name based on their fathers given name or occupation) and then became a fixed family name passed down the generations.
We can see this in Marković (which could be translated as child of Marko) and Popović (which could be translated as child of a priest).
Surnames can also be based on place names and nicknames.
Montenegrin surnames sometimes relate to bratstva, the brotherhoods or clans that were central to the traditional Montenegrin social structure.
Generally, Montenegrin names consist of a personal/given name and a family/surname, used in that order.
Here are examples inspired by traditional and modern Montenegrin naming conventions:
Marko Vukčević
Ana Perović
Petar Jovović
Milica Tomović
Luka Radunović
Ivana Božović
Nikola Mandić
Teodora Knežević
