History
editIn 914, archival records document the migration of the Luccari, of Albanian origin, from Alessio to Ragusa, with their roots traced back to Lasia di Slabia.[2][3] Besides "Lukarić" the names of the long-extinct noble family included "Luccari" and "de Lucaris", found in Zadar in the year 1283. Šimun Lukarić probably belonged to another branch. Some of the Lukarić family names which occur in the Dalmatian nobility listings of 1553 in the city of Split, may belong to the family. The coats of arms (of both sexes) that are available do not permit this point to be determined.
