Челебић

The village of Čelebić connects to Kovačić and extends in a southeast–northwest direction, running parallel to the new asphalt road between Livno and Bosansko Grahovo. It stretches for two kilometres between Kovačić and Bojmunat. The village’s name originates from the word čelebija, which in Turkish refers to a refined young man of noble descent. In the past, the village belonged to the well-known noble Firdus family from Livno. The settlement existed long before the Ottoman rule in the region — dating back to the time of the Illyrians and Romans. Unfortunately, there are no historical documents that could help us determine the village’s earlier name. [READ MORE]
