Origin: Albanian

Meaning: Hero

Kreshnik is a Swiss name for boys. Borrowed from Albanian epic poetry, _Kângë Kreshnikësh_ meaning “Songs of Heroes,” Kreshnik translates to “hero.” Albanian folklore may have found its way into Swiss culture during the Yugoslav and Kosovo Wars when Albanian families took refuge in Switzerland. If you hope to nurture cultural pride and remind your little one of where they come from, Kreshnik is an honorable choice.
