Athena Zouvella from Zakynthos, Greece 1922  [http://www.ellisisland.org/search/matchMore.asp?LNM=ZOUVELLA&PLNM=ZOUVELLA&kind=exact&offset=0&dwpdone=1]. Zouvella (modern Zouvela) from Zakynthos is the closest spelling to Xuvella. It is very probable that Zuvela's came from Zouvelos. The Greek source Zouvelos (Ζουβέλος) with the arrival of the Republic of Venice in Greece's coastal area, I assume that the old Venetian influence made it Zouvella. When the surname passed to Dalmazia Veneta (for example Korčula, southern Dalmatia, today part of modern Croatia) it was written in Xuvella. At the time of arrival of Zuvelas, a large population of Croats already lived on the island of Korčula.  "Zo" was changed to X. Basically, old Croatian and more Venetian influences were added. X was sometimes used in the old Venetian-Italian language to write (modern) Žrnovo as '''X'''ernova, a small village on Korčula. The family name Žanetić was written '''X'''acnich.

Based on the records and information which are available to me, I have come to this conclusion written below. My research is largely based on the writings of Zvonko Maričić (Maricich) and Nikola Ostojic ''plus'' his original book (for viewing) and three 'Family Trees of the Zuvelas' that were kindly given to me.

'''CONCLUSION'''

'''CONCLUSION'''

The Zuvelas came to the Republic of Venice's, Dalmazia Veneta in the 1630s (most likely refugees). They settled in the west end of the island of Korčula (previously ''also know'' as Curzola <ref>Greek: Kórkyra Melaena or Κόρκυρα Μέλαινα, and Corcyra Nigra (Latin)</ref>). Temporary residency was set up in a small field called Rasohatica (previously know ''as'' Rasohatija). After that they moved to Blato (previously also know as Blatta).

Three male names come up in my research that are '''not recorded''' as being born on Korčula (not registered ''via'' church records of births):

Antonio Xuvella is mentioned in the town documents<ref>Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834 ''by'' Zvonko Maričić (p168). It mentions '''Antun''' who is not part of the Zuvela Korčula born family trees (''or'' any family tree). This could indicate him as a Korčula island '''migrant''' arrival.</ref>
