Đoko is Greek, Serbian in Origin.

Đoko is a South Slavic, chiefly Serbian, hypocoristic of Đorđe and related forms such as Đorđije, ultimately from Ancient Greek Geṓrgios (Γεώργιος). The Greek personal name is built on geōrgós, farmer or land-worker, a compound of gē, earth or land, and érgon, work. The literal sense is therefore land-worker, preserved through the Christian name George.

In Serbian Cyrillic it is written Ђоко, with initial đ representing a voiced affricate. The form functions mainly as a familiar diminutive, though it appears as an independent male given name in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and among Serbian communities in Croatia, especially in Orthodox naming contexts. Its broader name family spread through the cult of Saint George; cognates include Georgios, Giorgio, Jorge, and English George.
