What is the meaning of the name Mico ?

The baby name Mico is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MEE-koh (/ˈmiːkoʊ/) — variant pronunciation MEE-cho (/ˈmiːtʃo/) for South Slavic Mićo.

Mico is in Origin.

Mico carries several layers of origin. In South Slavic usage, Mićo (often anglicized as Mico) is a warm diminutive for a range of Mi‑ names - especially Mihailo/Mihovil (cognates of Michael), as well as Milan or Miroslav. The spelling without the diacritic spread with emigration and is now found across the Balkans and their diasporas.

In the Philippines, Mico functions as a modern nickname and independent given name, typically short for Michael or Miguel. When linked to the Michael tradition, its meaning traces to the Hebrew Mikha’el: “Who is like God?” Variants and relatives include Mićo (South Slavic), Miko, and Mikko (Finnish). Note that in Spanish and Portuguese mico is a common noun for “marmoset/monkey,” so the given name is uncommon in those languages but familiar in Southeast Asia and among global communities.
