First mention in Blato (Blatta) documents in 1642, Antonio Xuvella. He was most likely born around 1610s, or earlier (a Zouvella-Greek or Greco-Venetian).

The first written source known about Xuvellas is from 1642. So in Blato on 2nd of February, 1642 on the island of Korčula, part of the Republic of Venice, a contract of land transaction was concluded. The neighboring land mentioned was in Postražišće. This neighboring land belonged to Antonio Xuvella (modern Croatian: Antun Žuvela) without mentioning the family origin, for example; ''son of ...... .'' This is the first record that mentions the Zuvela family. This information is taken from 'Vela Luka from 1490 to 1834.' Zvonko Maričić (page 168 written in Croatian).

'''NOTE''': Maričić received this information from: 'Sources for the History of the Island of Korčula' by Ante Kalogjera, Zagreb (1978). The book has many translations of old records of the Venetian Republic in relation to Korčula (from Venetian-Italian to standard Croatian).
