Koprivica

Koprivica (Cyrillic: Копривица) is a Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian surname. Koprivicas stem from the village, Banjani. This part of Herzegovina where Koprivicas originate from (Banjani) became Montenegro on July 13, 1878 from the leftover part of Herzegovina. On the same day, Piva, Niksic, and Sutorina with one part of the Adriatic sea also became Montenegro (as per the Congress of Berlin). So, this is not known as Old Herzegovina but rather Herzegovina.

Koprivicas can be found in the whole world, but mostly in Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, although some Koprivicas live in Croatia where they changed from Orthodoxy to Catholicism.
