The Zamagna received patrician status in 1172.[1] According to Ragusan sources, the family had moved to Ragusa from Zahumlje (Chelmo), and had once hailed from Apulia in southern Italy.(Zamagna, di Chelmo Balislavo. ixiti di Puglia, venuti 1172)[2] The name of the progenitor of the family, Balislavo, shows a Slavic origin.[3]
