Croatia is dominated by Roman Catholics and has diverse regional cultures and customs. Croatian names are pretty much similar to European names in lettering, structuring, and meaning. Slavic tradition was strictly followed for naming in the ancient times, but that has changed with time. Modernization has added to the list of popular names in Croatia, making them even more diverse.
