The House of Sorgo (in Italian) or Sorkočević (in Croatian) was the name of a noble family of the Republic of Ragusa.

Name

Known as de Sorgo, Surgo, Sorco and Surco in Italian, their name is derived from sorghum.[1]

History

Coats of arms of the Sorgo

According to the Annals, the Sorgo was a grain-trading and ship-owning family who immigrated from Albania via Kotor in 1272, and were ennobled in 1292 after bringing sorghum during a famine.[1] They hailed from the Cape of Rodon (di Redoni d' Albania antichi), according to a later entry in the Annals.[2] However, "Vita de Dobroslavo", the progenitor, is mentioned in 1253, and died before 1281.[3] Vita had seven sons and two daughters.[4] He had a son, Dobrosclavus, who was mentioned between 1274 and 1283, when he died.[3]

In 1527, Vlaho Sorgo, a patrician in Venice, recruited Jacobus Rizo as a doctor against the plague.[5]

In 1904 the Natali-Sorkočević family became extinct which left the second daughter as the eldest living descendant in direct descent with the name (?). She was already married to the Dubrovnik Port Captain and mariner, Hermann von Mirošević. They had 3 children. By Imperial decree from Franz Joseph I, on 5 January 1905, it was decreed that henceforth the family shall be known as von Mirošević-Sorgo:
