Zlatko is Proto-Slavic, South Slavic in Origin.
Zlatko is a South Slavic masculine name built from zlato, gold, and the hypocoristic suffix -ko, common in Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Slovene, Macedonian, and Bulgarian names. Its lexical ancestry reaches Proto-Slavic *zolto, gold, reflected in Old Church Slavonic zlato. The form uses the stem zlat- rather than a compound structure, so its literal force is little golden one or golden one.
In the Balkans, Zlatko belongs to the native Slavic layer of personal names and coexists with Christian Orthodox and Catholic naming traditions rather than originating in either calendar. It is used in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria; Cyrillic Златко appears in Serbian, Macedonian, and Bulgarian. Closely related forms include Zlatan and Zlate, while compounds such as Zlatomir are separate formations. Recent public bearers are especially visible in sport and the arts.
