Name «Holubko»

The personal name Holubko is a derivative formation from the base name Holub. The earliest Ukrainian records of names with this suffix date back to the 15th-16th centuries. For example, in 1492, it was recorded: "nobilis Holubko de Semigenow". Additionally, in 1565 there is a list of personal names, among which we find Lewko, Zienko, Chwedor, Holubko, Olexa. In this list, the "bird name" Holubko holds an equal place among calendar names.However, in the 16th-17th centuries, the anthroponym Holubko increasingly appears among other surname-like names. For instance, in 1580, it was recorded: Ilyash Holubko from the village of Odrekhov and Holubko Ivan. Soon after, specifically in 1649, patronymic formations from this name were also recorded: Lukyan Holubchenko and Andriy Holubchik.
