Zamagna

The House of Zamagna (in Italian; Zamanja, Džamanjić or Zamanjić in Croatian) was one of the noble families (post-Roman patriciates) of the Republic of Ragusa.

History

Middle Ages

The Zamagna received patrician status in 1172. According to Ragusan sources, the family had moved to Ragusa from Zahumlje (Chelmo), and had once hailed from Apulia in southern Italy. The name of the progenitor of the family, Balislavo, shows a Slavic origin.
