Mirko
Mirko , also Mirek , is a male given name of Slavic origin and occurs in almost all West and South Slavic languages. In the last few decades the name has also spread to non-Slavic areas. Like Miro, Mirko is a short form of Miroslav or Stanimir . Miroslav is made up of Mir (peace) and Slava (fame, honor).
The corresponding female first name for Mirko or Mirek is Mirka - the short form of Miroslava . The German first names Friedmar , Friedbert , Friedemann and Friedrich have a similar meaning.
