Mirko

Mirko is a masculine given name of Slavic origin, most common in Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro. It is often treated as a diminutive or variant of Miroslav, sharing the same root mir, meaning peace or world. In some contexts Mirko is used as a standalone name independent of Miroslav.

The name is widely used across Southeast Europe and among diaspora communities in other parts of Europe. Variants and related forms include Mirco in Italian, and short forms such as Miro or Mir. In Slavic languages the name is typically male; feminine forms are rare or do not standardly exist.

Notable people with the name include Mirko Filipović, a Croatian mixed martial artist and kickboxer known internationally as Mirko Cro Cop, and Mirko Vučinić, a Montenegrin footballer who played as an attacking midfielder and forward for clubs including Juventus and Roma, and for the Montenegro national team.
