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 [1]
- from the slavic term zidati, meaning to build or to create [2]
- Slavic version of the name Sidonius (meaning of Sidon) [3] [4]
- as a diminutive of the given names Zdeslav or Zdenek.
There are also claims connecting it to the name Sidney. [5] Denny can be used as a short form ( hypocorism) of the name. The female form is Zdenka.
