Arnautović


Arnautović is a Serbo-Croatian surname, borne by ethnic Serbs, and to a lesser extent Bosniaks, derived from the word "Arnaut", an Ottoman term used to denote Albanians or people from Albania; though in Serbo-Croatian usage, the word Arnaut was also used as a pejorative, meaning "evil", "malicious" and "murderous", used as a nickname - for instance, Serbian families got this surname from an ancestor who was a murderer and was nicknamed "Arnautin". It was also simply given to Serb immigrants from Albanian-inhabited areas, or from near Albanian-inhabited areas. A Jovan Radić, a Serb, is recorded with the byname Arnautović in 1682. At least 254 individuals with the surname died at the Jasenovac concentration camp.
