Majstorović (Serbian Cyrillic: Мајсторовић) is a Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian surname. The surname was derived from the Old French word 'maistre', a superior, a teacher. The name was originally rendered in the Latin form MAGISTER. In early instances this name was often borne by people who were franklins or other substantial freeholders, presumably because they had labourers under them to work their lands, and unlike smaller free tenants did not just till their property themselves.[1] Members of the Croatian branch have been elevated to Croatian nobility.
