Kankaraš
Kankaraš ( Montenegrin, sr-cyr, Канкараш) is a Serbo-Croatian surname found mostly in Montenegro. Its bearers are either Orthodox Christian or Muslim. There is an old Kankaraš brotherhood () of the Drobnjaci tribe around Golija near Nikšić (in northwestern Montenegro). A part of the Kankaraši settled Plovdiv, Bulgaria and changed their surname to ''Černogorski'' ("Montenegrin").
