Mirko
Mirko (Cyrillic script: Мирко) is a masculine given name of South Slavic origin. Etymologically, the name is composed of the root mir (meaning peace and world) and hypocoristic suffix -ko usual in South Slavic languages, which together means "the peaceful one". Mirko is sometimes used as a short, hypocoristic form of Miroslav or in some Slavic nations, a translation of Emeric (Imre in Hungarian). The name is widely popular in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Italy and Germany. The alternative spelling in Italian and German is Mirco. The nationality of those men with the forename Mirko who are from outside the Slavic region is listed next to the name.
