The name is most prevalent in the region near Zadar in Croatia, though also found in Zagreb as well.
The spelling has not varied widely, but the pronunciation is somewhat debated. In Croatia it is most commonly sounded with the first a sounding like the u in buzard and with strong emphasis on the ki, but the a is now being pronounced more like the a in ball with less emphasis on the ki. However in both the j still makes the ya sound, which is how all js are pronounced in Croatian. This name is not difficult to pronounce in the slavic languages, but in English it is rare to see someone guess the pronunciation correctly.
