Mirko

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mirko (Cyrillic script: Мирко) is a masculine given name of South Slavic origin.

By Slavic etymology, the name is composed of the root mir (meaning peace) and hypocoristic suffix -ko usual in South Slavic languages, which together means "the peaceful one". Mirko is sometimes used as a short, hypocoristic form of Miroslav in some Slavic languages.

The name is widely popular in Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Italy and Germany. An alternative spelling in Italian and German is Mirco. The nationality of those men with the forename Mirko who are from outside the Slavic region is listed next to the name.
