ISABEGOVIĆ FAMILY

(Isajbegović, the Turkish Isabegzade)

• Founding a family

Isabegović is an Ottoman branch of an old Bosnian aristocratic family from the Kosača tribe.[1] The family founder was Ottoman governor and soldier Ishak beg Hranić in the 14th century but the family name is named after his son Isa-beg Ishaković Hranić and it is Isabegović. So, after him all members of family Isabegović in their surname carry his name of Isa (Isa mean Jesus). Hıstorıan Jorga classifies Ishak as part of "Bosnian Turks" (die bosnischen Türken)[2].

Although it is not known exactly how Ishak-beg arrived in the city of Edirne, which at the time was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, it is likely that he was sent as a pledge of loyalty to the Sultan. He is adopted[3] by the Jigit-bey in the court and thus enters the famous Turahanaoglu family which was one of the four families that led the Akıncı corps in the Ottoman Empire between the 15th-16th centuries and which were of Anatolian Christian origin known as Yörüks.

• Relationship with the Kosača tribe

On August 16, 1452, in a document relating to Isa-beg's visit, the people of Dubrovnik recorded for the first time his full name with the patronymic, together with his father's (Ishak) and his grandfather's (Hrana) name: Isabech Isachovich Cranusich.[4] In two osman documents his father Ishak-bey is referred to as "Ishak-bey ibn Koç"[5] and It is also referred to in some documents as "Ishak-bey Kosaç".[6] In a letter dated 01.02.1455. through the form of the stylization framework, Isa-bey Ishakovic publicly states that he is Herceg's brother and that Duke Petar Pavlovic is his relative.[7] Thats uncover that family roots are out from Hrana and his Kosača tribe.

• Religion&roots

It is not documented that the ancestors of the Isabegzade family practiced any religion before the family founder of Ishak-bey Hranić converted to Islam. They lived in the surroundings of the Bosnian Church, the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, the Islam and the Judaism. It is only documented that they supported the Bosnian Church. They married with women of different confessions. Thus, through the ancestors along the female line, we have the presence of the Christian Comneno ​​line, although Siebmacher states that the root of the Kosače tribe to which the Isabegzade belongs, along the male origin are also of Comneno and Flavius.

• The emergence of surname Isabegzade family

The family name is a credible monument of the material and spiritual culture of both the people and the person who created it and who preserve it as an expression of uninterrupted memory. As the family name is linked to the feudal order at the moment when the family is organized as a blood and production unit included in the privileged or the oppressed, since the birth charts of births, weddings and deaths began to be kept from the Council of Triden (1545-1563) in which surnames were entered for all social classes, it can be concluded that in the countries under the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of the 16th century the surname became permanent at one point, invariable and hereditary. The name Isabegzade, Isabegović, Isajbegović was also created at that moment by a patronym carried by the sons of Isa-beg Ishaković: Mehmed-beg, Ali-beg, Muhamed-beg and Hasan-beg Isabegović. After them, all generations of their descendants have the same last name. Thus, it can be established that the surname belongs to the group of surnames expressing blood kinship, ie descendence through the parent-child relationship. Along with the last name they are proud of, family members cherish the oral tradition of belonging to the Kosača tribe and thus cherished the heritage, reputation and property.

• Isabegovic or Ishakovic - dilemma?

Some documents state that the name of the family founded by Ishak beg is Ishakovići. That's wrong. Ishak was the founder of the family and the first generation by patronym after him, is called Ishakovići. In this period of founding the family was not yet known for marking families by surname, but it happens over time both in Europe and in the Ottoman Empire in the next generation, which at that moment bears the patronym of the strongest representative of that moment - Isa beg, and from then everyone will be Isabegovic . The turning point in Europe was the Council of Trent 1545-1563, after which the recording of the surname for all feudal classes began. In parallel during this period we have Ali Beg Isabegovic, Mehmed Beg Isabegovic aka Celebi, Muhamed Beg Isabegovic[13] and Hasan Beg Isabegovic, and then the first generations after them Barak Beg Isabegovic, Bali Beg Isabegovic and all other generations who will came later carry heritage a lasting memory in their surname Isabegovic on patronym from the time the surname was created. Family name Isabegović belongs to the family of surnames which were formed on the basis of blood connection designation and belonging to the father-son relationship.

The Slavized surname with patronized suffix "- ić" is in accordance with the time, place and manner of surname creation, unlike the archaic Turkish versions with the suffix "- zade" and "- oglu" which have not survived anywhere in practical use except form "Isabegzade", in a case when we wants to cover all forms of surname or indicate that something applies to all forms of surname, or Isabeyzade in the territory of today Turkey. For the Isabeyzade family, we do not currently have Y-DNA confirmation that they are related to others with Bosnia roots. As a rule, when one wanted to emphasize the non-Slavic origin of the family then the writer would use this Turkish form of surname Isabegzade or Isabeyoglu, even though the Isabegovic family has neither Slavic or Turkish origin. The prefix "Hadži" (Haji, Haci) or abbreviated "h." was in use only in the 19th century but was quickly put out of practical use. "Hadži" indicated that the person has performed the "Hajj" or he was descended from the person which performed the Hajj.

The family name has five correct forms:

Isabegović - Slavic version - still in use

Isajbegović - Slavic version with letter "j" - still in use

Hadži-Isabegović - Slavic version with the prefix "Hadži" indicating that the person performed the Hajj or he was descended from the person which performed the Hajj - not in use

Isabegzade - Turkish version - not in use in personal documents - it indicating role that something applies to all forms of surname after their founder Ishak Beg Hranić

Isabeyzade&Isabeyoglu - possible branch in today Turkey - still in use

The wrong form of family names are: Ishaković, Isaković, Ishakbeyzade, Ishakbeyoglu

• Role in history

Members of the Isabegzade family played a leading role in the 15th and mid 16th centuries in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Sanjak of Üsküp (Skopje). From Istambul, "Sublime Porte" limited influence and worked on diminished the power of local Bosnian nobility and the Isabegovic family in order to more easily control the area under their administration to prevent anyone from becoming too strong and out of control. And theirs century domination over the town of Skopje, were replaced by governors of "devşirme" origin[8]. During two main eras of administrative organisation of Ottoman Empire final the consequences of such a policy was the depletion and disappearance of even entire family sub-branches so that the entry of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy into these areas in its worthy aristocratic and landowners status Isabegzade were survived in two branches: Isabegović from Gornji Rahić behind Isa-beg Isabegovic (married Adila Hanuma Gazibegović) and Isabegovic branch from Rainci near Tuzla after Hasan-beg Isabegovic[9]. The size of their land holdings, the number and size of serf settlements and serfs number is indicated in the archives of the Habsburg Monarchy until the end of 1918.
The policy of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, through looting agrarian reform and other social pressures, openly destroyed both the Bosnian nobility and the Bosnian non-Orthodox population. By the end of WWII, the Communist Party of Yugoslavia had completely destroyed all Bosnian nobility by the time of the exhalation, and the Isabegović family was adjusting to the new social circumstances. Deprived of material possessions, the Isabegović family maintained pride and honor by passing a tradition about its origin on their to the new generations. The members of the Isabegovic family have been great benefactors (Waqif) since its inception and have donated their properties for the needs of society and the religious community. Much of the inherited property from the period of the Kingdom of Bosnia and extended during the Ottoman Empire was donated in accordance with the regulations of the new adopted faith of Islam. They hit the foundations of many cities, built infrastructures, streets, hamams, hotels, shelters, sacral objects, mills, hundreds of shopping malls, and generously donated it.

• Famous members

The biggest and most famous of them are Ishak-beg Hranić (14th&15th c.) , Isa-beg Ishakovič Hranić (15th c.), Mehmed-beg Isabegović Čelebi (15th&16th c.) Hasan-beg Isabegovic (19th. c.) and Isa-beg Isabegović(19th c.). It was the custom to name children mostly after their grandfather or other ancestor so we have many of family members with same names.

• Family relationships

The family is related with their marriages to other Bosnian aristocratic families so that today the descendants of the Isabegovic family carry the origin along of their mother's line with noble families: Šahinpašić, Gradaščević, Gazibegović, Sokolović, Ljubović, Sijerčić, Salihbegović, Ibrahimbegović...

• Noble titles

Since the 15th century, most of the Bosnian nobility have embraced the new faith and become actively involved in the administrative system of the Ottoman Empire. The right of nobility and clergy in European feudal states is not founded as such in the Ottoman Empire because Islam does not recognize class or racial differences between people. This is why Muslim law does not define the rights and privileges enjoyed by representatives of the ruling class. The Ottoman nobility was exclusively a military nobility and the noble title belonged to representatives of the military order. Any person could enter the nobility if he proved to be of merit to the state.

Members of the Isabegzade family carry the name "beg" in their surname, which means "duke". Sometimes the title "beg" (duke) is emphasized and put after the name. Example: Isa-beg, Ali-beg, Mehmed-beg, Idris-beg ...

The title "vojvoda" (duke) was inherited from the pre-Ottoman times of medieval Bosnia, so until the 16th century the titles "vojvoda" and "beg" were often put together in same documents. Example: "vojvoda Ali-beg Isabegovic"

The title "Gazi" means "warior" and / or "winner" and is usually placed in front of the name. "Gazi" is an honorary title and designates a military commander. Example: Gazi Ishak-bey, Gazi Isa-bey, Gazi Mehmed-bey ...

Some of them carry special title "sanjak-bey". Example: Sanjak-bey Gazi Isa-bey Ishaković Hranić

The noble title "beg" (duke) have three variation: "beg", "bey" and "beigh" and they are hereditary.

• Regions with family member population

Today, members of the Isabegzade family inhabit Bosnia, Croatia, the EU, Vojvodina, USA and Turkey. Members of related families: "Cossaza" inhabit Italy, "Hersekszade" inhabit Turkey and "Hercegović" Bosnia.
