Preps for Article (this is my work page)


The first time the surname Xuvella was mentioned was in a document dated 1642 (2nd February), Blato - Blatta.

(ref from:Vela Luka od 1490 do 1834 by Zvonko Maricih-p168)

Devastating plague in 1617 on Korcula.

  • The most extensive migrations to these islands occurred during the Cypriote (1571-1573), Candian (1645-1669), and Morean wars (1684-1699) (between Republic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire).

Ref from: The Land of 1000 Islands by Igor Rudan

Note: According to family tradition of the Zuvela's, the family came from France. This is the only bit of information that has been passed down concerning the Zuvela's family origins. This is a made up story!

By 1853 Nikola Ostojic writes that the Zuvelas had no origin stories/old memories (as he puts it), which means in the mid 1850's it was not know from where they came from. The family had been on Korcula for over around 220 years and by then had lost their orgin history.

Timeline

  • Xuvella's arrived on the west end of the island of Korcula in the c.late 1620s.

Note: Era of the Black Plague, Ottoman (Turkish) invasions & Uskoci in the Republic of Venice's Dalmatian region.

  • 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 ever mentioned of the Zuvela family. This information is taken from 'Vela Luka from 1490 to 1834.' Zvonko Maričić (p. 168).

NOTE: Maričić received this information from: 'Sources for the History of the Island of Korčula' by Ante Kalogjera, Zagreb (1980). The book has many translations of old records of the Venetian Republic in relation to Korčula (from Venetian-Italian to standard Croatian).

The sons of Antonio Xuvella were probably not born on the island of Korcula because there is no date of birth or the documents have been lost, damaged, etc. Their records could have come through the ‘Book of the Dead’ (records of the deceased of the village of Blato).

Venetian language

“ NOTE: It is universally accepted that the Vènet language needs distinct symbols for the sound of the letter S (as s in English sun) and the sound of the letter X (as z in English zone). There are too many words that require this distinction.

For example, rusàre (to rash, to get rashed) and ruxàre (to prowl), sa (if, or short for what) and xa (already), sìxo£a (type of gardening scythe) and xìxo£a (stinging cold, or hard strike), sugàre (to dry up) and xugàre (to play), sarà (closed) and xara (pitcher). However, not everyone adopts the letter X to represent this sound (mostly because it is used for a different sound in other languages: "ks"), and quite a few writers opt to use the letter Z instead. The letter X is anyhow the preferred graphical representation, not only because the letter Z is already used for another sound, and therefore to avoid confusion. But also because this is the letter historically used to represent this sound. Although it was not used all the times (even by the same authors) it has been constantly present for centuries.

It has also been suggested to substitute the letter X with the letter S, when before another consonant. The reason being that it is widely known what to pronounce (X in front of B, D, G, L, M, N, Ñ, R, V; and S in front of C, F, P. T). There are some exception, however: slòsa (transportation vehicle) and xlòso (rotten, broken). For simplicity and clarity, it is recomended to always distinguish between X and S.

The letter X is also used in the diagraph XH (as J in French Jardin ). As with SH, this pronunciation is ONLY present in the ladino-vènet dialect. See the Vèneto Arkìvio for the appropriate graphical representation. For example, xhal (rooster).

Croatian language

“ The grapheme Ž (minuscule: ž) is formed from Latin Z with the addition of caron (Czech: háček). It is used in various contexts, usually denoting the voiced postalveolar fricative, a sound similar to English g in genre, or Portuguese and French j. In the International Phonetic Alphabet this sound is denoted with [ʒ], but the lowercase ž is used in the Americanist phonetic notation, as well as in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet. In addition, ž is used as the romanisation of Cyrillic ж in ISO 9 and scientific transliteration. ”

Zh=Ž
