Careviḱ

Careviḱ is a surname primarily found in North Macedonia. It is also occasionally found in neighboring countries and within the diaspora of people originating from that region. The surname likely derives from the word "car" (цар), a Slavic word for emperor or king, combined with a suffix (such as -ev, -evi, -ić, or similar) common in Slavic surnames indicating "belonging to" or "descendant of." Therefore, "Careviḱ" may suggest a familial association with someone who held a position of authority, or perhaps was associated with an imperial or royal court. It's important to note that surnames often developed from nicknames or occupational descriptions, and their original meanings can be difficult to definitively ascertain. Variant spellings may exist.
