The name 'Marko' is derived from the Latin word "marcus" meaning hammer. According to another version, it originates from the name of the Roman god Mars – the god of war, the protector of herds and people.
To pronounce the Ukrainian name "Marko," follow these tips based on the Ukrainian transliteration:
1. Start with the first syllable "Mar," where "M" sounds like "m" in "more," "a" sounds like "ah" in "father," and "r" is rolled slightly, as in the Spanish "perro." So you get "Mar" (m-ahr).
2. For the second syllable "ko," the "k" should sound like "k" in "kit," and the "o" is pronounced as "o" in "off." Put together, you say "ko" (koh).
Thus, "Marko" is pronounced as "Mahr-koh." Make sure to stress the first syllable slightly.
