What is "sokolovic"

Sokolović (, may also be transliterated as Sokolovic or Sokolovich) is a Serbo-Croatian surname, found among Serbs and Bosniaks. It derives from the Slavic word sokol, meaning " falcon" and literally means "son of the falcon". The Sokolović of the Sanjak of Herzegovina were called Sokoli and Sokullu-oğlu, by the Ottomans. One of the coat of arms included in the Korenić-Neorić Armorial (1595) and the Fojnica Armorial (1675–88) claimed to be that of the "Sokolovich". The coat of arms most likely was attributed to the Sokolović of Glasinac ( Sokolac region).
