My grandfather, his cousins and brothers were KRALJIĆ /kralyich/ or KRALJEVIĆ /kralyevich/ in Bribir, Croatia. When they came to Montana in the late 1800’s early 1900’s it was changed to Kralich. Some even had it changed to Kral.

KRALJIĆ is right. Administration of foreign countries was changing immigrant’s surnames accordingly, mostly by shortening it for some letters that were hardly understandable in a domestic alphabet. I’m Croatian, born and raised in Rijeka, and the surname is found in whole Croatia quite often. One of my late ancestors was doing some research, stating that surname has been noted for the first time in Novi Marof and surrounding (Zagorje), but also stating a possibility that origins are from formerly Czechoslovakia, where KRALIK means RABBIT.
