Misko is Slavic in Origin.
Misko (pronounced MEE-shko) is a Slavic diminutive formed with the affectionate -ško suffix, most commonly written Miško in Slovak, Croatian, Serbian, and Slovene. It derives from the Michael family of names - Michal, Mihael, Mihailo, Mikhail - ultimately from Hebrew Mikha’el, meaning “Who is like God?” As with many Slavic pet forms, it conveys warmth and familiarity, paralleling East Slavic Misha.
Traditionally a household nickname that appears in parish and folk records across Central and South Slavic regions, Misko has occasionally been adopted as an independent given name in recent decades, particularly in diaspora communities that favor short, friendly forms. Variants and spellings include Miško (with diacritic), Misko (ASCII), and Mishko (Ukrainian/English rendering). Related diminutives are Misha (Russian/Ukrainian) and Hungarian Miska (from Mihály). Note that Polish Mieszko, despite the similar look, is an unrelated medieval name.
