Ivan in Venetian Italian is Giovanni and Kuzme in Venetian Italian is Cosma. According to Zvonko Maričić, Ivan (Giovanni Xuvella) was a witness to a contract being signed in 1672 and '''his father was Kuzme''' (Cosma Xuvella).  '''Cosma Xuvella''' is not part of the Zuvela Korčula family trees as being born on the island, this may indicate him as a migrant arrival.'''Please note''': It would seem that the Xuvellas could read. We are looking at Old Venetian and Latin. </ref>

One has to ask, is it possible that the Zuvela families are all descended from the individuals mentioned above? It’s most likely true. We may also be looking at the original residents of Rasohatica!

Importantly the early Zuvelas in economic terms were no time wasters (wealth might have been brought with them). A Mr Antonio Xuvella in the 1640s was an owner of no less than 211 sheep. The Xuvellas moved to the near by village of Blato and bought, acquired houses and properties there, later land and properties acquired ''or'' bought in and around the bay of Vela Luka (Vallegrande).
