User-submitted Reference

The surname, Mijac (Mijač), originates from the village Podgor in Montenegro, Europe.

He was stationed in Risan near Hercegovina where he allegedly killed a soldier in revenge for his best friend and had to flee inland to avoid the death penalty. He eventually settled in the village of Podgor, where he married his best friend's sister and changed his name to Mijač. This name originates from Montenegro and all Mijač in Croatia and the rest of the world are related and have the same ancestor.
