In Piva, a historical tribe of Old Herzegovina (now western Montenegro), there was a brotherhood (bratstvo) named Ruđić (Serbian Cyrillic: Руђић). The surname was mentioned in Church Slavonic documents of the Serbian Orthodox Hilandar monastery.[1] The Ruđić brotherhood from Rudinice (in Plužine), which later dispersed elsewhere, is one of two family trees in Piva from which many Pivan families descend from.[2] Several families are noted in Serbian ethnographic studies as having descended from the old brotherhood of Ruđić (Ruđići).
Anthropology
- The Gagović brotherhood (Gagovići) in Bezuje are according to tradition a branch of the old Ruđić brotherhood.[3] They were one of the oldest and most respected brotherhoods of Piva.[3] They founded the Bezuje village which they inhabit today.[3] Earlier, A. Luburić (1930) was unsure if the Gagović family in Drobnjaci indeed descended from the Ruđić brotherhood in Piva.[4]
- The Nikolić,[5] Đikanović,[6] Gutović,[7] and Đačić[6] families in Gornje Rudinice (Plužine), descend from an old branch of the Ruđić brotherhood in Piva according to tradition.[8] In 1971, the Nikolić family had three houses;[5] Gutović ca. 10.[7] The Đikanović progenitor was Đikan; Đačić was đak (dijak) Đorđija.[6] They all have the slava of St. Nicholas (Nikoljdan). A Đurko of the Đikanović family settled Potprisoje near Bileća.[6]
- The Božović family formerly living in Orah (now Plužine), descend from the Ruđići, and are kin to the Gagovići.[9] They had the slava (patron saint veneration) of Nikoljdan (St. Nicholas).[9] They migrated a long time ago to Bosnia.[9]
- The Glomazić family in Donje Rudinice.[10]
Notable people
According to folklore, hajduk Bajo Pivljanin (1630–1685) was born in Rudinice (now in Plužine) in Piva, belonging to the Ruđić brotherhood.[11] Savatije Ljubibratić (1660–1716), the Serbian Orthodox metropolitan, belonged to the brotherhood.[12][13]
