The name is derived from the name Marko (hypocoristic form of the Slovak given name Marek ‘Mark’). It may also be derived from the Hungarian name Markó (hypocoristic form of the Hungarian equivalent of the same given name; spelling adaptation). In both cases, it refers to the connection with the father or another ancestor by that name. Variant: Markó. |
