The name is derived from the name Mikuš (hypocoristic form of the Slovak given name Mikuláš ‘Nicholas’). It may also be derived from the medieval Hungarian name Mikus (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. Variants: Mikus, Mikúš. |
