The Zuvelas abandoned Rasohatica and moved to the village of Blato. From there members of the Zuvela family moved to (and helped to establish) the town of Vela Luka. In more modern times they have migrated to [[Australia]] as well as the [[Directory:United States of America|United States]] and other parts of the world.

The information concerning the early Zuvelas of Korcula is taken from a local 19th century historian from Blato called '''Nikola Ostojic'''. He wrote a book about the town of Vela Luka in 1852. It was written in [[Italy|Italian]] with a strong Venetian dialect. Italian was the official language of the Dalmatian province at the time and had been so for centuries.

In the 1860s Croatian (then referred to as Illirski) was introduced by the [[Austria|Austrian]] authorities as a second language. It then slowly replaced Italian altogether. Thus the name Xuvella became Žuvela.
