The House of Bonda or Bondić was a Ragusan noble family and as such belonged to the Ragusan nobility. A cadet branch became Austrian nobility in 1857.

History

The Bonda were first mentioned in 1190. The progenitor was "Petragne de Bonda". By the beginning of the 15th century the family had notably decreased in size. In the beginning of the 15th century Ragusan nobility were present in Novo Brdo as merchants or mining lords; Bonda were also present. After 1808, with the French occupation and division of the Ragusan nobility into two groups, the family joined the Salamancanists, along with the Bassegli, Benessa, Buća, Giorgi, Bona, Gradi, Ragnina, Resti and Tudisi, while Gondola, Palmotta, Proculo were Sorbonnists; the rest of Ragusan nobility had branches, more or less, in both groups. In 1754 one branch of the Bona family were granted titles in Poland.

The Austrian Empire granted the title of Count to Bondić family on 26 January 1857. The family expired with the last descendant of the Bondić family (through the female line), famous poet and translator Ignjat Đurđević.
