The first Vujčić is mentioned in the year 1518 around Serbia's capital Belgrade. The first mention of the Vujčić family as a tribe is in 1541 in the nahija of Zmijanje near Banja Luka where even today there are people with this surname. After this, there were migrations to Herzegovina, Montenegro then to Raška and Sjenica. After the Battle of Čegar in 1809, fearing revenge from the Ottoman Turks, the Vujčićs followed Karađorđe Petrović for the then-empty Šumadija. Karađorđe himself decided who of them would live in which area.
