History[edit]
The Delišimunović are a noble branch of the Radojčić family. The family name was recorded in documents in the forms Delisimonovich, Dellisimunovich, Delljsimonovich, and Dellissimunovich. The surname was created by the nickname Delišimun (delija Šimun) carried by Ivan Radojčić's son, Šimun. The name was created sometime between the years 1530–37. The family lived in Klis Fortress, they then moved from Klis to Pokuplje. There they owned the Radojčić Castle near Duga Resa. The family subsequently moved to Žumberak where Krsto Delišimunović was awarded the title of Baron on August 9, 1675[2][better source needed] by Leopold I and served as captain[3] of Karlovac until his death in 1696. Krsto Delišimunović's son, Franjo Krsto Delišimunović, together with Franjo Vragović, commanded the Croatian army sent to Hungary for the uprising of Francis II Rákóczi in 1704.[4] Franjo Krsto Delišimunović was awarded the title of Count in 1708.[5] Male members of the family served in the military.
