Đilas or Djilas (Serbian: Ђилас) is a surname and Serb clan originating in Montenegro from the Vojnovici. Generations of male Djilasi have been killed on the battlefield.
A blood feud in the late 19th century between the Djilasi and Petrovici rooted in the killing of Marko the Outlaw by Akica Corovic sent by Danilo II because of the killing of a noble Turk resulted in Aleksa Djilas (the grandfather of Milovan) revenging Marko (killing Akica) and later being killed together with many in his family. Prince Nikola had Aleksa's head decapitated and threwn out on a field, a dishonoring gesture, a payback for the damage (revenge) done to the Corovici. Stanojka, the daughter of Aleksa went out on the field to bring back his head.
