Any one out there with the surname Pevac? or do you know someone with this name?

Question

I would like to know what back ground this surname is from. I'm also looking for any one with this name in Australia

Answer 1

According to German passenger lists, it's a Croatian name. If you want to find more on your particular line, the Australian Archives will have passenger lists, immigration records and census records to help you. Here's a link to help you: http://www.naa.gov.au/records-management...

Answer 2

Well all I could find is that apparently in 1920 the only three states which had this last names were California, Illinois, and Indiana, I couldn't find the meaning or anything in Australia. Sorry.
