Vančo is a South Slavic masculine given name, primarily used in Macedonia and Bulgaria, functioning as a familiar diminutive of Ivan, itself the Slavic form of the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. The diminutive suffix -čo is characteristic of Macedonian and Bulgarian pet-name formation, giving the name a warm, informal register. It shares its ultimate Hebrew root with a wide family of European cognates including Ivan, Jan, Giovanni, and Johan.
