The surname Zlatović appears in the records of the town of Šibenik in the 16th century, when in 1531 Petar Zlatović moved from Vrpolje to Gorica in Šibenik. The surname Zlatović is one of the few that appears in the records of the city even after the plague of 1649, which killed almost nine tenths of the city's population of Šibenik.
