The word is normally used in everyday life, but I really do not know of such family name, nor of any similar family name in Croatia. Are you sure you did not get it wrong?

ok,so how could this be a family name ?
i mean , from what i know family names
come usually from the job the head of the family has,
what job could "grobnicu"/"grobnica" be associated.
does it appear somewhere in croatian literature?
in every day life do you use it ?
or it's an old word ?
