What is "obrad"

Obrad ( Cyrillic script: Обрад) is a masculine given name of Slavic origin. It may refer to:

• Obrad Belošević, (1928–1986), basketball referee
• Obrad Gluščević (1913–1980), film director
• Obrad Piljak (born 1933), politician and economist
• Obrad Stanojević (1934–2011), legal historian and professor
• Obrad Zelić (born 1946), dentist and professor

Obrad was a Serbian nobleman that served king Stefan Vladislav (r. 1234–43), with the title of veliki tepčija. He is the oldest veliki tepčija known by name. The title-holder took care of the royal estates. He is mentioned in the 1230s, as a "great lord" (veliki gospodin). He had a menologion written, which later came into the possession of Radoslava ("the wife of the tepčija", presumably veliki tepčija Mišljen). The work includes songs to St. Sava. He seems to have not belonged to the royal family.
