Soviče

Soviče is a Slovene surname. It is likely derived from the word "sova," meaning "owl" in Slovene and other Slavic languages. Surnames derived from animal names were common, often reflecting characteristics associated with the animal (e.g., wisdom for owls) or the individual's occupation, location (e.g., near a place with owls), or some other personal attribute. The suffix "-iče" is a common Slavic surname suffix, often indicating belonging or descent. Therefore, "Soviče" could be interpreted as "belonging to the owl" or "descendant of someone associated with owls." The surname is most commonly found in Slovenia.
