The '''Zuvela''' surname has strong roots originating from the western end of the island of Korcula in Croatia. Its original spelling was '''Xuvella'''. Another variation on the surname is '''Zuvella'''. In the Croatian language the Z in Zuvela is actually Ž. The ž is pronounced as J in French (zh).The Zuvela’s arrived on the west end of Korčula in the early 1600’s and settled in a small field called Rasohatica (Rasohatija). There are still small remnants of stone huts there to this day. First time the surname Xuvella was mentioned was in Blato (Blatta) in a document dated 2nd of February 1642. At the time, Korčula was part of the Republic of Venice (within the Venetian Dalmatia province).] From where the original Xuvellas migrated is still a mystery to this editor. The Republic of Venice did accept refugees and migrants within her boundaries during her long history. They came from all parts of Europe. Many of them were from Spain as well as Christians from the Ottoman Empire (which ruled the Balkans for centuries).
