Zdenko

Zdenko is a male given name of Slovak, Slovene or Croatian origin. There are a number of competing explanations for the meaning of the name: the slavic term zdenac, meaning a well from the slavic term zidati, meaning to build or to create Slavic version of the name Sidonius (meaning of Sidon) as a diminutive of the given names Zdeslav or Zdeněk. There are also claims connecting it to the name Sidney. Denny can be used as a short form (hypocorism) of the name. The female form is Zdenka/Zdeňka.
