Petrović
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Petrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Петровић) is a predominantly Serbian and to a lesser degree Croatian last name (Source? Many Hungarians too!) It derieves from Petar, which is equivalent to Peter in English. The part ov designates possession: Petrov means Peter's. The suffix ić is a diminutive designation, or descendant designation. So, the last name can be translated as Peter's son leading to the English equivalent last name of Peterson.
