The name Zlatko is a diminutive form derived from the neutral Serbian personal name Zlato, which translates to 'gold'. Among Ukrainians and in the Rusyn communities of Serbia, the name Zlatko began to be recorded starting from the 1940s. For example, we can mention a high school student from the town of Šid named Ždinjak Zlatko and Davida Zlatka (Mudri - Salamon 255, 256). In the town of Khmelnytskyi, this name appeared in the 1970s, specifically associated with Zlatko Manko (Horobets 265).
