Bjelica
Bjelica is a Serbian and Montenegrin surname, mostly found in Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to a lesser extent in Croatia. The surname is derived from the historical clan region of Bjelice, in Old Montenegro. Émigrés from Bjelice, in order to preserve their origin, adopted the tribal name as surname instead of their own original family or brotherhood (srb. bratstvo) surname; this took place in the 18th and 19th centuries. The vast majority of bearers of the surname are Eastern Orthodox (Serbian Orthodox Church) and declare as ethnic Serbs and Montenegrins, although there are some Muslims (Bosniaks) and Catholics (Croats) with the surname. Most of the Orthodox maintain the tradition of ''slava'' (patron saint veneration) of St. John the Baptist (''Jovanjdan'') - other slavas are present as well (such as St Paraskevi, i.e. St Petka). Notable people with the name include: *Ana Bjelica (born 1992), Serbian volleyball player *Dimitrije Bjelica (born 1935), Ser ...
