Majić

Majić or Majic is a South Slavic matronymic surname^[1][2] formed by adding the Slavic diminutive suffix -ić to the feminine given name Maja.^[3] There is an alternative origin of the surname, that is almost exclusively tied to the Montenegrins bearing the name. It originated from the Maritime clan of “Maine", near Budva, Montenegro. The original bajraktari (Montenegrin bannerlord) family of Maine used to be called like that because of their height. (Lat. Major - great). Today the remnants of the family can only be traced to the Majić family in Zeta, Montenegro.^{[unreliable source?]}
