Samardžić Explained

Samardžić (Serbian: Самарџић) is a Serbian and Bosniak occupational surname derived from samardžija, a Turkism meaning "saddle maker". It is also believed that the first family of Samardžić originated from the Orlović Clan through a descendant Salvo Orlović, who established the Samardžić Clan in Krivošije in the late 1300s. Later on, many of the families moved west as far as Sinj, Knin, Velika Kladuša, and Cazin (particularly in Bosanska Krajina). It may refer to:
