Name «Brashko»

Brashko is a medieval Ukrainian name that combines Ukrainian anthroponymy with South Slavic, predominantly Bulgarian influences. The modern Bulgarian male name Bratko is related to the neutral name Brasho. The truncated Serbian name Brata is correlated with full names such as Bratislav and Bratomir. In the Croatian language, there exists a colloquial name Braśo, which corresponds to official names like Bratibor, Bratomil, Dobraś, and others. In the Czech language, similar formations are represented among expressive appellatives, such as the noun bracha, meaning 'brother', 'brotherhood'. In Ukraine, the name Brashko, as well as patronymics derived from it, were used as early as the 16th century. For example, in 1565, Brasko Issaiowicz and the patronymic Braszowicz are mentioned.
