Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Natko je doložené najmä ako chorvátske mužské meno. Jeho základ nemožno určiť celkom jednoznačne; spája sa s hypokoristickou južnoslovanskou tvorbou na -ko, prípadne s menom Natan z hebrejského nāṯan „dal“, no odborná literatúra upozorňuje, že toto spojenie nie je isté.
