[Facts] Darko
Name Darko is authentical South Slav = Yugoslav name. You can find origin is in 8 centuries ago in Serbia. In that time Serbia had not the same shape as now... Darko is not nick name, it is name you got from your parents, even in Church when they buptise you. It is popular name in all ex-Yugoslav republics, but it is exclusively christian name Orthodox and Catholic. No one Bosnian Muslim have not that name, also very rarely in Slovenia. Most of people with name Darko lives in Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro and Macedonia, also in Bosnian Serb and Croat families. DARKO means AS GIFT, in Serb language K'O DAR, so you got DARKO. It is interesting that most of the best attacers in soccer in Yugoslav history has that name: DARKO PANCEV (VARDAR SKOPJE, RED STAR BELGRADE, INTER MILANO), DARKO KOVACEVIC (RED STAR BELGRADE, JUVENTUS TORINO, REAL SOCIEDAD), also great basketball star DARKO MILICIC (ORLANDO MAGIC - NBA)... Most of people in Serbia think it is beautiful name, especially girls...:)
