 1828 writing by Colonel Ivan Murgić probably had the last original testimony of Lika-Primorje Bunjevci about their traditional identity, in which they said to be "We are hardworking brothers Bunjevci", while regarding (Catholic) confession always as "I am true Bunjevac".A more recent 1980 testimony from Baja, Hungary considered they came from Albania.The etymological derivation of their ethnonym is unknown.
