Kankaraš

Surname list

Kankaraš is a Serbo-Croatian surname found mostly in Montenegro. Its bearers are either Orthodox Christian or Muslim. There is an old Kankaraš brotherhood of the Drobnjaci tribe around Golija near Nikšić. A part of the Kankaraši settled Plovdiv, Bulgaria and changed their surname to Černogorski ("Montenegrin"). The Muslim Kankaraš family in Pljevlja hail from Foča, which they left following the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1878); they are not related to the Kankaraš family in the town. The name is a nickname, derived from Turkish, meaning "large black eyebrows". At least seven individuals with the surname died in the Holocaust in Croatia.
