Svetoslav Suronja (Croatian pronunciation:[sʋětoslaʋsǔːroɲa]), was King of Croatia from 997 to 1000. A member of the Trpimirović dynasty, he reigned with the help of his ban, Varda. John the Deacon (d. 1009) called him "Surinja" (Latin: "Surigna"),[1] adopted in Croatian historiography as "Suronja", meaning "dark man" or "cold man", probably due to his temper.[citation needed] He was the oldest son of king Stephen Držislav, from whom he received the title of duke, and was designated as his successor.
