Hey, I've had that, under the same pronunciation (assuming
second-syllable stress) but maybe a different spelling, in Serbian
restaurants in Milwaukee.  I guess there the spelling would depend
which transliteration from the Cyrillic had been used, and they may
have used a different one just to make it look less Croatian
(although that was back in the 70's, when there was still a
Yugoslavia and we were still allowed to call the language
Serbo-Croatian).
