TheHouse of Buća (Serbian Cyrillic:Бућа; in ItalianBucchia) was a noble Serbian family that served theRepublic of Ragusa, and one of the most important families to come out ofKotor. A cadet branch was admitted to the nobility of theRepublic of Ragusa, another branch moved instead toŠibenik.
The family is known in Serbian sources as Buća,[1][2][3][4](Cyrillic: Бућа) but also as Bućić or Bučić.[5][6] In Latin, Italian and French sources they are known in a variety of forms, mostlyBucchia orde Bucchia, but alsoBucchich,Buchia,Buche,Buchi,Buchie,de Bucha,de Buchia,de Bucho,de Buça,Boce oBuca. Other versions found in Serbo-Croatian includeBuča andBućin.[7]
The family name seems to derive from the medieval nameBuchius orBucchius reported both in Dalmatia and earlier in various Italian locations.[citation needed] The first Bučić to be in the archives is aJakov Bučić present in Kotor in 1186.[citation needed]
The first known Buća wasTripe Mihov (Trifun Buća, Трифун Бућа).[8] Kotoran families held high offices in the Serbian court, and the most notable was the Buča family,[8] while the most notable individual was Nikola Buća.[9] Nikola andToma Pavlov, another notable Kotoran,[9] traded insalt.[10]
The Buća were among the wealthiest and most powerful ofKotor (Kingdom of Serbia andSerbian Empire). Founded later with the House of Drago, it gave rise to one of the most important families in the region: the House ofDrago-Bučić.
A branch of the family moved to Šibenik in 1449, while another branch had earlier moved toDubrovnik in the 14th century. The latter, between 1440 and 1640 counted 30 members of the Great Council, representing 1.36% of total.[11] In these two hundred years, they also got 27 senatorial positions (1.36%), five Rectors of the Republic (0.21%), five members of the Minor Council (0.23%), but were never Guards Justice.[12]
Kotoran branch became extinct in the 17th century, the Dubrovnik in the 19th century, but the Šibenik branch still survives in Italy, precisely in Milan and Parma, respectively in the Bucchich and Peracchia - Bucchich families.

Zbog toga je također čudno što su u bibliografiji izostali, na primjer, i latinisti iz kotorskih obitelji Bizanti i Buća.
