Family of Croatian origin who were divided into several branches: Croatia (Mlinarić), Hungary (Mlinarics), Styria (Mlinarič) ... and the other versions.

Data on family

[edit]

Due to the large turbulence in the area of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Zrinsko-Frankopan conspiracy, Croatian - Ottomans wars ...etc.) at that time a large number of data on the Croatian branch of the family Mlinarić is destroyed. The family appears in the history of the many military, religious, law and other positions. One of the brothers Matthew Mlinarić (who received a certificate of nobility 20.th March 1655. Year of King Ferdinand III ), and Matthias Mlinarič (Styrias surname version) are mentioned in Smičiklas "Spomenici Tržičkih Frankopana". Hungarian version of the surname is Mlinarics [1] (confirmation as Hungary nobility 24. February 1650 in Vienna), Bohemian-Moravian Mlinarick or Mlinarik (M. Miklos nobility from 1621), all these versions surnames appear as Mlinarich, which is universal for the entire area of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Surname can be found in version Muller/Miller/Muhlen, parts of family who moved to other parts of the monarchy (mostly part of German speaking) and Molin/Mollinary/Molinari (part of Italian speaking).

The records from Smičiklas book "Codex diplomaticus regni Croatiae Dalmatiae et Slavoniae" on page 398-th to 399-th, in the text of 10 December 1398. in Knin. Where it is mentioned so far the first known written record of the surname Mlinarić (Mlinarich). Therefore, it is assumed that this nobility is much older than confirmation date (M. Miklos 1621.-th, Mlinarics 1650-th and Mlinarić 1655-th).

Kačić clan

[edit]

The mythology of the surname is connected with Muchlo and the legend of the arrival of seven tribes, which comes from the mountain Muhl (Upper Austria).

The famous historian Vjekoslav Klaic in his book "Hrvatska plemena od XII. do do XVI. stoljeća", published in Zagreb 1897. Describes history of the Kačić, one of the twelve tribes of the Croatian Kingdom who had the right to elect the king. At one point he writes: "The main knee Kačića had his estate in the upper Adriatic and here was elevated to the height of his fame, and his family was so mushroomed that the same last name they could not discern. Mlinarić referred to as genera of Kačić clan, on page 35., also confirmed in Smičiklas book "Codex diplomaticus Regni Croatiae, Dalmatiae et Slavoniae".

The old recorded family nickname was "Melina", "Mile", "Milesi", "Milne", "Miler", "Mlinari" and "Molina", while more recently nicknamed "Mlinka" or "Mlina"
