Mugoše were originally an Albanian tribe.

## History

The Mugoše may have been immigrants from present-day Albania who settled in the Brda region around the 12th and 13th centuries.
While not considered as a tribe anymore, some Montenegrins bear the Mugoša surname. During World War II, many of them joined the Yugoslav Partisans. According to 2006 data, 779 people had the surname in Podgorica; people with the surname are represented above average in local politics service in the capital.
