What does the surname Maslanko mean?

Question

I believe it's from Ukranian origin, but it might be Russian or somewhere else in Eastern Europe. I also heard it has something to do with dairy. Thanks to anyone who answers!

Answer 1

it sounds greek

Answer 2

I couldn't find Maslanko, but I think this may well be the same name, and Maslenko is a variant. Buttermilk is your "dairy" link.

Maslanka  

Last name origin & meaning:

Polish (Maślanka) and Jewish (from Poland): Polish nickname or metonymic occupational name, or Jewish ornamental name, from Polish maślanka ‘buttermilk’.

Answer 3

It's definitely of slavic origin. In Macedonian language "Maslo" is translated as "oil" and "Maslen" as "oily".. There is an old traditional and famous Macedonian surname "Malenko" (which is a bit similar to this one) which derives from the word "small, little"
