− | Zouvella (modern Zouvela) from Zakynthos is the closest spelling to Xuvella. It is very probable that Zuvela's came from Zouvelos. The Greek source surname 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. | + | Zouvella (modern Zouvela) from Zakynthos is the closest spelling to Xuvella. It is very probable that Zuvela surname came from Zouvelos.
