Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Zdeno je osamostatnená domácka podoba mena Zdenko, príbuzná českému menu Zdeněk. Prevažujúci výklad ju odvodzuje od starého slovanského zloženého mena Zdeslav, ktorého prvá časť súvisí so staročeským slovesom zdieti vo význame „tvoriť, urobiť“ a druhá so slovom sláva. Starší, dnes menej prijímaný výklad spája meno s latinským menom Sidonius.
