Krištić is a patronymic surname used in Croatia. The Kristić family was a medieval noble lineage. The Fojnica Armorial from 1340, (preserved in the Franciscan Monastery in Fojnica), includes the Kristić (Krištić) family among the noble families with their own coat of arms. In the original text, they are listed as Hcarstictc, with a note indicating that they were from Vinjani, a settlement now divided by the Republic of Croatia/Bosnia and Herzegovina border. Administratively, it belongs to the town of Imotski in Croatia and the municipality of Posušje in Herzegovina. One branch of the Kristić family is a blood relative of the Bosnian royal dynasty - Kotromanići, and carries the epithet Krištić.
