The baby name Iko is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EE-koh (IPA: /ˈiːkoʊ/; Japanese: /iko/).
Iko is Japanese in Origin.
Iko is a compact, cross‑cultural given name with several roots. In Japanese it may be written in kana or kanji; the element -ko means “child,” and the precise sense varies with the characters selected. In the Frisian‑Dutch sphere, Iko fits the tradition of brisk masculine names ending in -ko, a historic diminutive suffix attached to older Germanic names.
Across the Balkans and parts of Eastern Europe, Iko serves as a familiar hypocoristic for names beginning with I - often Ivan or Ilija - and in Indonesia it appears both as a nickname and as a modern stand‑alone choice (e.g., actor Iko Uwais). Variants and related forms include Ike, Ika, Icko, and Iku. Meanings range from “child” to simply “little/short form of [root name].” In contemporary use it reads crisp and global.
| Iko Uwais Iko Uwais is an Indonesian actor, stuntman, fight choreographer, and martial artist best known for his breakout action films The Raid, The Raid 2, and Merantau. Born Uwais Qorny, he has also appeared in Headshot, Mile 22, and the Netflix series Wu Assassins. |
