Vujčić (Cyrillic: Вујчић; ; ) is a surname. According to Jovan Cvijić and Jovan Erdeljanović, until the first appearance of the dictionary of Vuk Karadžić in 1867, the surname was referred to as Vuičić. At the turn of the (20th) century, some registered the name as Vujičić while others as Vujčić hence today's two separate last names.

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.

Frontiersmen
A frontier is the political and geographical area near or beyond a boundary. A frontier can also be referred to as a "front". The term came from French in the 15th century, with the meaning "borderland"—the region of a country that fronts on another country (see also marches). Unlike a border—a rigid and clear-cut form of state boundary—in the most general sense a frontier can be fuzzy or diffuse. For example, the frontier between the Eastern United States and the Old West in the 1800s was an area where European American settlements gradually thinned out and gave way to Native American settlements or uninhabited land. The frontier was not always a single continuous area, as California and various large cities were populated before the land that connected those to the East. Frontiers and borders also imply different geopolitical strategies. In Ancient Rome, the Roman Republic experienced a period of active expansion and creating new frontiers.
