In onomastics, Sisako is encountered as a surname among various West African communities and in diaspora populations. Spelling variants such as Sissako and Sissoko appear in public records and genealogical sources, reflecting regional transliteration differences. As a surname, it is typically encountered in biographical or genealogical contexts rather than as a marker of a specific lineage.

The name may be linked to small villages, districts, or estates in different regions, sometimes appearing in colonial-era records.

In culture and media, Sisako is used as the name of fictional places, characters, or groups in literature, games, and film. In such contexts, it is usually invented to convey a particular cultural texture or setting.

Etymology and origins are not firmly established in widely available sources; the form may reflect phonetic patterns common to several languages in West Africa, as well as transliteration choices of colonial-era records.
