I am doing research on Joseph Sakatsitz (How his name shows up on several forms in the US from 1901 into the 30s when he shortened to Saks. I did see an early spelling Sakasits as well. I know he came from Burgerland which in 1901 was Hungarian territory at the time. I see some alternative spellings like Szokatsis, Sczaczs too. Anyway, trying to figure out where the family came from. Looks like Josephs parents are Stephan and Anna probably from Ubersdorf Austria. I don’t think our name is German. With a bit of research it must be either Hungarian, maybe Polish, or maybe Croatian?
Szokats is way or spelling before 1850 and is name for Croatians from North East part of Croatia. Modern way is Sokac. That area is known as Slavonija in Croatian language. Szokatsis would be something like son of Szokats (Sokac).

Hello-
My maternal grandmother’s maiden name was Sosteric or Sostaric.
She was from Zagreb and moved to Chicago in the late 1900’s. Wondering if this name is a common Croatian name. I have many postcards addressed to her sister Irma from WW1 but the handwriting is in script so its almost impossible to translate.
Thank you
