What is the meaning of the name Mirco ?

The baby name Mirco is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˈmirko/ — common respelling: MEER-koh (Italian: /ˈmirko/).

Mirco is in Origin.

Mirco is the Italianized form of the South Slavic name Mirko, itself a diminutive of Miroslav. It stems from the Slavic elements mir (“peace; world”) and slav (“glory; fame”), with -ko an affectionate suffix; therefore the name conveys “peaceful glory,” “glory through peace,” or “famous for peace.” In Italy the k was regularized to c, yielding Mirco, while the k-spelling remains standard across the Balkans and other Slavic areas.

Use of Mirco rose in Italy from the 1960s–1990s and persists especially in the North; it also appears in German-speaking Europe and Switzerland. Notable bearers include Italian athletes Mirco Bergamasco and Mirco Antenucci. Related forms and variants: Mirko, Miroslav/Mirosław, Mirek, Miro; feminine Mirka and Miroslava. Though visually close to Marco, Mirco is etymologically distinct. The name suits families seeking a concise, international Slavic-Italian hybrid with a calm, dignified meaning.
