It is an Albanian surname. It was the surname of the mother of my great grandmother.

You also have Serbian/Montenegrin name/nickname Djuka. It comes from Greek, Georgious, further meaning - agriculturer.(i just google that, can tell thats 100% acurate).

Djuka (Serbian) and Gjuka (Croation) probably need to be added to the database with a link to George

Actually, "Gjuka" is Albanian and "Djuka" is both Serbian and Croatian (I speak both Serbo-Croatian and Albanian). And they are actually derivatives of the name Jacob, not George! The Serbian derivative of George is "Djordje" and Albanian is "Gjergj". :)
