Name «Rachko»

The personal name Rachko among Ukrainians was first recorded in 1495. For example, a document mentions: "pan Yakub s panom Rachko," where the anthroponym Rachko undoubtedly serves as a personal name. However, about half a century later, the anthroponym Rachko is already used as a surname. For comparison, in 1616, the noble Yakiv Rachko Kladnensky is mentioned.
