In this article the author describes the history of the famous noble family Vučetić from Brinje and Senj through few centuries of history. This family was mentioned in historical documents in different forms: Vuchetich, Vuczetich, Wutschetisch and Vučetić.

The author introduces us with their origins; the oldest mentions of the family, movements and emigrations, as well as the places where they live today, their family heraldic signs and the most famous and most eminent members of this Brinje and Senj noble family.
Many members of this family received nobility and coats of arms with names ‘de Brini’ and ‘de Cesney’ because of their merits, mostly as soldiers. In the 19th century many members of this family moved to Brinje from the town Cseney near Timisoara in Romania.
