Name «Neputko»

The name "Neputko" is derived from the shortened form of a two-root masculine name such as "Putymyr" or "Putyslav" with the negation prefix "ne-". This means that the name "Neputko" originates from the diminutive form "Putyko". The earliest written mentions of this name date back to 1572 in the Zakarpattia village of Nelypino, where it is recorded as the surname "Mich. Neputko" (Chu Prizv. 408). In 1570, the same name was recorded as "Nepuc-ko".
