Isko
Origin:Filipino
Meaning:Frenchman; Free man; A Frank; He will laugh, he will rejoice
Inspire baby to find joy in everything by naming them Isko. This snappy and original boy’s name has Filipino and Finnish roots. Derived from the longer name Francisco, Isko means “Frenchman,” “free man,” or ”a Frank,” three phrases that might seem unconnected, but all stem from the German element frankô. Isko is also a diminutive of Iisakki, the Finnish form of the Hebrew title Isaac. Meaning “he will laugh” and “he will rejoice,” Isaac could symbolize the lighthearted energy little Isko brings to your home. Most famously, this name belongs to Isko Moreno, the Filipino actor and politician who also served as the mayor of Manila. Your Isko can feel free to follow in this role model’s footsteps or carve out their very own lane to greatness.
