About the Murković surname

Podrijetlo imena Murković

Obiteljska imena su se razvili u srednjem vijeku i bile su općenito klasificirani u pet kategorija: prvo ime, naziv zanimanja, naziv mjesta, nadimak i ukrasnim ime. Postojala je tendencija u Europi u srednjem vijeku za migracije iz malih zajednica do gradovima i novim migrantima potrebno je bilo odabrati prepoznatljive prezimenom.

Ako istražimo sadašnju globalnu populaciju Murkovića vidimo jake koncentracije u Međimurju, jedna regija u sjevernoj Hrvatskoj. Međimurje znači "među Mur".Muri (Mur u Austriji) je rijeka koja meandrira u tom području i čini granicu između Hrvatske, Slovenije i Mađarske. Počinje u austrijskim Alpama, a teče na istok do Dunava i na kraju do Crnog mora.

U Međimurju, na rijeci, na granici Hrvatske i Slovenije se nalazi grad "Mursko Središće". Ovaj grad ima najveću koncentraciju Murkovića. Postoji mnogo drugih Murkovića u malim gradovima po rijeci Muri. Mnogi Murkovići u Europi može pratiti svoje korijene do ovog područja Međimurja.

Moja nova teorija kaže da Murkovići je prezime naziv mjesta, te da to mjesto je uz Mur rijeke. Jedan drugi izvor Murkovića je u Ukrajini i oni mogu ili možda neće biti u vezi s Murkovićema iz Međimurja. Murkovići u Americi su uglavnom iz Like ali Murkovići u Lici vjerojatno su se iselili prema jugu od Međimurje nakon prijetnje od Turaka i Valachs je povukla u kasnim 1600-ih i ranih 1700.

Origin of the name Murković

Family names developed in the middle ages and were generally classified under five categories: given name, occupational name, location name, nickname and ornamental name. There was a tendency in Europe during the Middle Ages for migration to chiefly be from smaller communities to the cities, and new arrivals needed to choose a defining surname.

If we examine the current global population of Murković's we find a strong concentration in Međimurje, a region in northern Croatia.

Međimurje means "among the Mur". The Mura River (the Mur in Austria) is a river that meanders in the area and forms the border between Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary. It starts in the Austrian Alps and makes it way east to the Danube and ultimately to the Black Sea.

In Međimurje, on the river, in the northern most part of Croatia, on the border of Croatia and Slovenia there is a town called "Mursko Središće". This town has the largest concentration of Murković's. There are many other Murković's in small towns along the Mura River and many Murković's in Europe can trace their roots to this area of Međimurje.

The theory is that Murković is a location surname (family name) and that the location is along the Mur (or Mura) River. The only other source of Murković's is in the Ukraine and they may or may not be related to the Murković's from Međimurje. The Murković's in America are largely from Lika. The Murković's in Lika are likely to have emigrated south from Međimurje after the Turkish and Valach threats had dissipated in the late 1600's and early 1700's.
