What is the meaning of the name Dragutin ?

The baby name Dragutin is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced DRAH-goo-teen (IPA: /ˈdraɡutin/).

Dragutin is in Origin.

Dragutin is a South Slavic masculine name built on the Proto-Slavic root drag- “dear, beloved, precious,” with a hypocoristic suffix -utin; it began as a pet form of compound names such as Dragomir and Dragoslav but long ago stabilized as an independent given name. Its sense can be paraphrased as “little dear one” or “precious boy.” Written in Cyrillic as Драгутин.

Attested since the Middle Ages, it is notably borne by the Serbian ruler Stefan Dragutin (13th c.), which anchored the name in Serbian and neighboring traditions. It remained popular through the 19th–20th centuries in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia. Common short forms include Drago, Dragi, and Tin; feminine counterparts are Dragica and Dragana. Regional variants/cognates include Slovene Dragotin and the broader Drag- family (e.g., Dragomir). The name today reads classic and traditional, evoking affection and esteem.
