The first ever appearance recorded to this date was even before the Turkish men (Ottoman) broke into the Kingdom of Croatia (around 13. century).
The name sounded slightly different then it does today, of course.
Gielusich is what they called themselves (I guess that was the latin version of this surname, but I still haven’t figured out what it means so if someone knows how to identify the origin please help).
Between the 16th century the name was written slightly different Gelussich. Most people with that name came from the island of Hvar and Klostar Podravski (then called Gorbonog).
The 19th century a lot of people in the Croatian National Revival had that name like the teacher Ernest (back then spelled Jelussich). Also a famous croatian photographer Edmondo Jelussich.
In the 20th century Mirko Jelusich is a famous austrian writer.
A lot of Yelushichs moved at that time to the USA, and other European countries searching for a better life.
Today this name is known as Yelushich, Yelussich, Jelussich, Jelusich and most common in Croatia Jelušić.
