Lukoran is a village in Croatia, located on the Adriatic island of Ugljan overlooking at the Zadar peninsula. It is connected with other island villages with the State route D110. Lukoran was mentioned in the year 1068. The name Lukoran originates from 6th or 7th century Rome (Laucaranus) since the name uses Latin suffix -ANUS added to the Roman nomina gentilia which originates from this time period. It was the birthplace of Šimun Klimantović*, a Glagolitic writer, as he said for himself in his chronicle of the Glagolitic (1511). His two collections are kept in Zagreb and in the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg. He wrote down The Lament of the Blessed Virgin in his ritual manuals from 1512 and 1514 which is among the older sources of Glagolitic singing.
