The name "Hodynko" is a Slavic masculine name that originates from the Old Russian anthroponym "Hodinъ". It is formed by adding the diminutive suffix "-ko" to the root "Hodinъ". This root is, in turn, related to the two-part names "Hodimir" or "Hodisлав". In these names, the root "hod-" means "worthy" or "suitable". Similar names, such as "Hodomir", "Hodomyśl", and "Hodослав", also share a common root and meaning.
