Prema onome što sam do sada pronašao o prezimenu Mikolašević kao glavno žarište širenja prezimena može se označiti prvenstveno selo Podravska Moslavina pokraj Donjeg Miholjca, 70-ak km zapadno od Osijeka. Selo se u pisanim izvorima spominje od 1397. na dalje. Prilikom potrage za izvorima o prezimenu Mikolašević u Hrvatskom državnom arhivu (HDA) doznao sam da ni HDA niti crkva nemaju župne knjige župe Podravska Moslavina (eventualno biskupija u Pečuhu) nego da je jedini primjerak tih dokumenata dostupan u Hrvatskoj zapravo sken župne knjige Podravska Moslavina dostupan na web stranici familysearch.org. U HDA mi je rečeno da su prije Domovinskog rata amerikanci u sklopu nekakvog projekta skenirali župne knjige i taj sken (za razdoblje od početka do pred kraj 19. st.) je jedini primjerak koji postoji te se njime koristi i HDA. Za ne vjerovati, ali tako je. Dakle, iz tih skenova može se iščitati da se krajem 18. i u prvoj polovini 19. st. u Podravskoj Moslavini javljaju sljedeća prezimena: Mikollassa, Mikolassa, Mikolasev, Mikullassev, (čak i Mikolasco), Mikulashevich, Mikolasčac i na posljetku Mikolashevich. Iz prijelaznih varijanti prezimena može se zaključiti da prezime vuče podrijetlo iz Mađarske - Mikulás (ili Szent Miklós) na mađarskom označava Svetog Nikolu. Odnosno prezime obitelji formiralo se prema svecu zaštitniku (što je prilično učestala pojava), a preko prijelaznih varijanti u toku 19. st. može se pratiti slavenizacija prezimena od mađarskih varijanti do sadašnjeg oblika Mikolašević. Kad se uzme u obzir činjnica da se nakon ratova s osmanlijama 1698. i 1702. godine u pisanim izvorima navodi moslavački distrikt s Moslavinom i još devet naselja ( Zanos, Šimanovci, Bučje, Vodovrat, Martinci, Obrež, Potkovci, Radinovci i Kopanovci) koja su bila bez stnovništva, a u samoj Moslavini popisano je samo 19 domaćinstava može se zaključiti da preci obitelji Mikolašević u Podravsku Moslavinu doseljavaju iz Mađarske prilikom kolonizacije Slavonije nakon protjerivanja osmanlija. Svi nositelji prezimena Mikolašević i drugih izvedenica kroz 19. st. rimokatoličke su vjere.

 

According to what I have recently found Mikolašević's surname as the main focus of the surname's spread, the village of Podravska Moslavina, near Donji Miholjac, 70 km west of Osijek, can be marked. The village is mentioned in written sources from 1397 onwards. When searching for sources for the surname Mikolašević in the Croatian State Archives (HDA) I found out that neither HDA nor the church have parish records of Podravska Moslavina parish (possibly a diocese in Pécs), but that the only copy of these documents is available in Croatia in fact the sculptures of the parish book Podravska Moslavina available On the familysearch.org website. In HDA I was told that prior to the Homeland War, Americans scanned parish records as part of a project, and that scene (from the beginning to the end of the 19th century) is the only copy that exists and is used by HDA. Do not believe it, but it is so. So from those scenes it can be seen that in the late 18th and first half of the 19th century in Podravina Moslavina the following surnames have appeared: Mikolassa, Mikola, Mikolasev, Mikulassev (even Mikolasco), Mikulashevich, Mikolasčac and finally Mikolashevich. From the transitional variants of the surname it can be concluded that the surname is drawn from Hungary - Mikulás (or Szent Miklós) in Hungarian signifies St. Nicholas. The surname of the family was formed according to the patron saint (which is a fairly frequent phenomenon), and through the transitional variants in the 19 th century the surname of the surnames from the Hungarian variants to the present form Mikolašević can be followed. Considering the fact that after the wars of the Ottomans in 1698 and 1702, Moslavina district and Moslavina and nine settlements (Zanos, Šimanovci, Bučje, Vodovrat, Martinci, Obrez, Potkovci, Radinovci and Kopanovci) Were missing, and in Moslavina only 19 households are listed, it can be concluded that the ancestors of the Mikolašević family in Podravina Moslavina migrate from Hungary during the colonization of Slavonia after the Ottoman expulsion. All the carriers of the surnames Mikolašević and other derivatives through the 19th century are Roman Catholic religions.
