Sa%c5%a1ko

Saško is a South Slavic given name, functioning as a hypocoristic form of longer names beginning with Sav- or Alek-, most commonly Aleksandar, derived from the ancient Greek Alexandros, meaning defender of men, from alexein (to defend) and aner (man). It is used primarily in North Macedonia, Serbia, and neighboring regions as an affectionate diminutive in everyday speech. Related forms include Saša, Sasha, and Sasho, which are found across a broader swath of Slavic-speaking countries.
