Zhivko: Name day

Name day

Zhivko’s name day is celebrated in Bulgaria on three distinct dates throughout the year. These observed holidays occur on January 18th, April 24th, and May 2nd.

Zhivko Meaning Origin History and Mood

Zhivko is a historically rich, masculine Slavic name meaning "living" or "alive," derived from the root *zhiv*. While its history is centuries old in the Balkan region, its presence in the USA is very minimal, restricted almost entirely to Bulgarian and Macedonian immigrant communities. The name carries a strong, energetic mood, projecting reliability and deep traditional grounding. Etymologically, it speaks to robustness and vital health, characteristics reflected in its serious tone. It is used exclusively as a male identifier across all cultures where it is known. This robust cultural history stands in contrast to its current obscurity in the Western world.
