Mirko

Mirko (Cyrillic script: Мирко) is a masculine given name of South Slavic origin.
By Slavic etymology, the name is composed of the root mir (meaning peace) 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 in some Slavic languages.
Another etymology, attested by churches venerating sv. Mirko / sv. Emerik as two variants of the same, is a slavicized form of the name of saint prince Emeric (Imre in Hungarian), a name which is itself coming from Emeric's German cousins, therefore from the Germanic name Heinrich/Henry.
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.
