This article traces the popularity of the “-ko” name pattern over time, discusses the situation in the last decades of the nineteenth century that gave rise to this phenomenon as well as the circumstances behind its decline a hundred years later, while also considering the position of this once-prominent name pattern among recently bestowed names.},
