- Abstract
The history of Zlosela/Pirovac is closely connected to the Draganich/Draganić and Veranzio/Vrančić families; this confirms the paper entitled “Sjećanja na Zloseljane” ("Remembering the People of Zlosela"), written by Ljubomir Draganić Vrančić (Gliubomiro de Draganich Veranzio). This manuscript, written between 1918 and 1922, portrays the life of the population of Zlosela and the events that had taken place in the period including several centuries. The manuscript describes the malice and viciousness of the local population, as well as the problems and calamities that the said two noble families had to suffer. The author explains the longstanding pejorative name of the locality (Zlosela) by this very state of facts. A detailed analysis of this toponym leads to the conclusion that the reason for its use may have also been the fact that the militant local population had been heavily obstructing the Ottoman invasion. The locality had changed its name several times; finally, in 1921, it was given back its old name - Pirovac (named after a herb), a toponym much more acceptable for the local population. This name has been retained to the present date.
