Ekko is in Origin.
Ekko is a sleek, modern unisex name with several plausible roots. In Scandinavian languages, ekko means “echo,” and in English it often serves as a stylized form of Echo from the Greek myth, linking it to reverberation and voice. In a Germanic context, it aligns with Frisian short forms built on the Eck-/Ekke- element (as in Ekkehard/Eckhart), ultimately from a word meaning the sword’s edge. Some parents also meet it via Indonesian Eko, a common male name meaning “first-born.”
As a given name, Ekko is scarcely attested before the 2000s; Echo appears in English records from the 19th century, while Ekko rose in the 2010s, helped by pop-culture visibility such as the 2015 video-game character Ekko. Variants and related forms include Echo, Ecco, Eko, Ecko, Ekke/Ecko, and longer Eckhard/Eckhart.
