A member of the family, Vladislav Jonima is mentioned in sources with the title of Župan. A catholic, he was acknowledged by the Pope as a ruler of a territory around Lezhë in 1319. This feudal family reappears in sources at the end of 14th century. They are linked with the Zaharia family and the Dushman family.
