Đonović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђоновић; also transliterated Djonović) is a Serbian language family name derived from the first name Gjon[1] of Albanian origin.[2] According to the legends of many Montenegrin highlander tribes, their ancestors came from Albania, so surnames like Đonović and Zogović point to Slavicization of Albanians.[3] According to Mihajlo Petrović, some people with Đonović surname claimed that their ancestor was catholic.[4] Đonović surname is mentioned in Dečani chrysobulls in early 14th century.[5]
