Name «Svetko»

The Slavic masculine personal name "Svetko" derives from the Slovak base "svet-", meaning "light," as well as from the homonymous base "svety," which translates to "holy." This name is mentioned among the residents of the village Koromlya, located near Uzhhorod on the Slovak-Ukrainian state border. For example, in 1437, documents refer to: "kenez Zandictus Zwethko, Wano, Synko" (Sztaray 341).
