What is the meaning of the name Slavko ?

The baby name Slavko is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SLAHV-koh (IPA: /ˈslavko/).

Slavko is Slavic in Origin.

Slavko is a South Slavic masculine name, a hypocoristic formed from the root slav-/slava “glory, fame” in names such as Miroslav, Stanislav, Borislav, Yaroslav, and Slavomir. The suffix -ko is a common affectionate diminutive in Slavic languages; as a given name it conveys the sense of “glorious/famous one” with a warm, familiar tone.

Used widely in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro, Slavko has been recorded as an independent name since the 19th and 20th centuries, influenced by national revivals and the fashion for short forms. It also occurs as Slávko in Slovak and rarely in Czech, while in Ukrainian (Славко) it serves mostly as a pet form of Viacheslav or Yaroslav. Related and variant forms include the feminine Slavka, Czech Slávek, Polish Sławek, Bulgarian/Macedonian Slavi and Slavcho, and East Slavic Slavik. Notable bearers such as Slovenian bandleader Slavko Avsenik have kept the name visible.
