Zorić (Serbian Cyrillic: Зopић, pronounced [zǒːritɕ]) is a common Serbo-Croatian surname, most prevalent in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. The name is derived from the female given name Zora, meaning “dawn” or “aurora” in many South and West Slavic languages, including Serbian, Croatian, Czech, and Slovak. The suffix -ić is a patronymic, making Zorić mean “descendant of Zora” or “little Zora.” The feminine given name Zora itself dates back to the early Slavic revival and is associated with the personification of dawn in Slavic mythology.
