MEANING & HISTORY
What does Iko mean?
Iko has more than one explicit Cebuano account. It is a familiar form of Francisco or Francis, and also an adaptation of Ike linked in that account with Isaac.
These name families have different histories. A single root such as laughter cannot be imposed on all Iko records, because that would erase the Francisco route. The source supports preserving the alternatives rather than selecting a parent from appearance alone.
