Summary
The oldest graphics of the surname Srša (Szerssa) was entered in 1685
in the Book of the Baptized of the Štrigova Maria Magdalena Parish
and the same form remained unaltered all the way up to the 19th
century. During the 17th and 18th centuries the said graphic form was
frequent in the villages Borke (from 1685), Stanetinski Breg (since
1688), and Stanetinec (from 1690). The villages Borke, Stanetinec
Breg, Stanetinec, and Prhovec were owned by Petar Zrinski until the
middle of the 17th century's second half. Following an unsuccessful
coup against the Viennese Court, the villages were seized and became
the property of the "King's Chamber". The hill Pernjak should be added
to the seized villages list, together with the big Zrinski vineyard
("Popovčak"), where the surname Srša (Stersza) was noted down at the
end of the 17th century (1696).
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Sersa and Szersa were among the
more common graphic forms alongside with Szerssa, most of all in the
villages Borke, Prhovec, wheras Serssa was found in the village Krče.
From 1794 till 1873 the graphic form Szersha prevailed in the village
Globoka, and from 1811 till 1873 in the village Krče. The graphic form
Srša began to show through in 1850 when it was entered as Serša
(Globoka, Lohovec Breg, Vukanovec Breg), and in 1854 as Szerša in
Veščica.
The appearance of the grapheme š (replacing s, sh, ß ) in the 19th
century's Fifties was without any doubt the consequence of Međimurje
uniting with Croatia (1849 - 1861). The following graphemes were
already in use in Croatia in 1846: č (replacing cs, ç, and cj), ć
(instead of ch), š (instead of sh, ss, sc), and ž (instead of x, fc,
fcj), and c (instead of cz, z), s instead of ſ)), and z (instead of s).
The grapheme s (instead of sz) was sometimes used in Međimurje as far
back as in 1900 (Prhovec, Globoka). Meanwhile, grapheme ß (scharfes S)
noted down at the beginning of the 19th century was the result of
writing down the surnames of Austrian citizens.
It is possible that some graphic forms with single entries were the
results of misunderstanding or wrong pronunciation of a surname,
leaving a trail in their spelling (lapsus calami). Examples of such
single or double entries: Sirsa in Stanetinec (1660), Szerche also in
Stanetinec (1686), Sserssa in Prhovec (1686), Sterssa in the Borke
village (1696), and Szarassa in the same village (1768). Also coming
from the 17th century are graphic forms: Serssa (1693), Szersa (1695),
Stersza and Sterssa (1696), and Sersa (1698). There are single entries
of Szersza in the following villages: Krče (1726), Trnovčak (1721),
and Ciganjščak (1725). Graphic form Szercha was entered twice at
Vrbovica (1828 and 1829), and once at Krče (1859). There are also
single entries of Scherssa and Sherssa at Stanetinec (1792), and
Schirssa at Krče (1800). There are single entries of the graphic form
Szers at Krče (1775), Monte Stanetinec (1802), Štrigova (1810), and
Vrbovica (1817), and also of Szerß at Vušivščak (1801), and Szersh at
Lohovec (1844). The graphic form Szerche (similar to Szercha and
Szersha) was noted down in Stanetinec (1810). Finally, the form
Szersha was more prominently present in the first half of the 19th
century in Krče, Globoka and Selščak.
