Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Jarko je domácka podoba slovanských mien so základom Jar-, najmä mena Jaroslav. Základ súvisí s praslovanským prídavným menom *jarъ vo význame prudký, silný, bujarý. Podoba Jarko vznikla skrátením mena a pripojením domáckej prípony -ko. Zložka -slav v mene Jaroslav súvisí so slávou; samotnému tvaru Jarko preto nemožno bez určenia východiskového mena pripisovať celý význam mena Jaroslav.
