Lučić family
The House of Luca or Lučić was a noble family from the city of Dubrovnik and the Republic of Ragusa. It belonged to the small circle of families which belonged to the Ragusan nobility.
Archival records indicate that in 914, the Luccari family, of Albanian origin, migrated from Lezhë to Ragusa (modern-day Dubrovnik), with their earliest known roots tracing back to Lasia di Slabia.[1]
The family's nomenclature evolved, with "Luccari" and "de Lucaris" being documented in Zadar in 1283, in addition to the later "Lukarić." While the noble family of "Luccari" or "de Lucaris" is now extinct, another branch of the family, represented by Šimun Lukarić, likely existed.[2]
Some individuals bearing the Lukarić surname appeared in the listings of Dalmatian nobility in Split in 1553. However, the available heraldic evidence (coats of arms) for these individuals does not definitively confirm their direct lineage to the earlier documented Luccari/de Lucaris family.
