Kankaraš (Montenegrin, Serbian Cyrillic: Канкараш) is a Serbo-Croatian surname found mostly in Montenegro. Its bearers are either Orthodox or Muslim. There is an old Kankaraš brotherhood (Kankaraši) of the Drobnjaci tribe around Golija near Nikšić, northwest Montenegro. A part of the Kankaraši settled Plovdiv, Bulgaria and changed their surname to "Černogorski" (Montenegrin). The Muslim Kankaraš family in Pljevlja hail from Foča, which they left following the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1878); they are not related to the Kankaraš family in the town.[1] The name is a nickname, derived from Turkish, meaning "large black eyebrows".[1] At least 7 individuals with the surname died at the Jasenovac concentration camp.[2]
