Vuk Stefanović Karadžić was a Serbian philologist and linguist who was the major reformer of the Serbian language. He deserves, perhaps, for his collections of songs, fairy tales, and riddles, to be called the father of the study of Serbian folklore. He was also the author of the first Serbian dictionary in the new reformed language. In addition, he translated the New Testament into the reformed form of the Serbian spelling and language.
Karadžić is a Serbo-Croatian surname, derived from karadža, a colloquial Serbo-Croatian term for "black ox" or generally for "an animal with black fur or dark complexion", itself derived from Turkish karaca meaning "roe deer". The Karadžić family name was derived from a progenitor who was called karadža, a nickname found in Serbia since the second half of the 15th century. The surname is widespread over former Yugoslavia.

Vuk is a male Slavic given name, predominantly recorded among Serbs as well as Croatians, Bulgarians, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Slovenes, Russians, and Ukrainians. The name literally means "wolf". Vuk Karadžić, 19th-century Serbian philologist and ethnographer, explained the traditional, apotropaic use of the name: a woman who had lost several babies in succession, would name her newborn son Vuk, because it was believed that the witches, who "ate" the babies, were afraid to attack the wolves. In the Serbian epic poetry, the wolf is a symbol of fearlessness. Vuk was the 17th most popular name for boys in Serbia in the period 2003–2005.
