Drobko is a Ukrainian family and household masculine name that parents affectionately use to call their little son. The name is derived from the root "drob," which means "small" or "tiny," combined with the diminutive suffix "-ko." For example, in a record from the year 1446, the name "Iwan Drobko" is mentioned. In this case, the post-positive component already serves as a surname-like designation. Another example is from 1552, where the name "Jadam Drobka" is referenced.
