What is the meaning of the name Kruno ?

The baby name Kruno is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KROO-no (IPA: /ˈkruːno/).

Kruno is Croatian in Origin.

Kruno is a South Slavic male given name most widely used in Croatia, functioning both as an independent name and as the short form of Krunoslav. The full form combines Croatian kruna ("crown," ultimately from Latin corona) with slava ("glory, fame"), yielding the sense "glory of the crown" or "crowned with glory." As a nickname-turned-given-name, Kruno keeps the royal associations of its root.

Use of Kruno/Krunoslav rose with 19th-century Slavic revival naming patterns and has remained steady in Croatia and among Croat communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the diaspora. It is rare outside the region but recognizable thanks to athletes such as basketball player Krunoslav "Kruno" Simon. Variants and related forms include Krunoslav (standard full form), the feminine Krunoslava, and the standalone Kruna (feminine). Pet forms like Kruni also occur. Spelling is stable; there are no widely accepted non-Croatian equivalents.
