Petar Kovačić

Petar Kovačić (20th century) was a Croatian man and a member of the House of Kovačić of Sveti Matej. He was born on the Kovačić Hill to Nikola Kovačić — head of the House of Kovačić — and his third wife, Marica Kovačić, and was thus a grandson of Stjepan Kovačić I and half-brother of Marica Koščević. Petar was raised on the Kovačić Hill.

Petar went to Germany, still a youth, and he never returned home.

Etymology
Petar’s name comes from the Latin word petra, which comes from the Greek word petros – "rock". His name is a Croatian version of Saint Peter‘s name. Peter is honoured in the church of Saint Mary in Marija Bistrica, the place where Petar‘s father went on a pilgrimage.
