'''Zlatan''' ({{lang-sr-Cyrl|Златан}}) is a [[male]] [[given name]] of [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] origin meaning ''Golden''. The name is common amongst all South Slavic countries, namely in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Croatia]], [[North Macedonia]] and [[Serbia]]. The name is found in particularly high frequencies in Bosnia because it is considered ethnically neutral amongst the three dominant [[Bosnians|Bosnian]] ethnicities: [[Bosniaks]], [[Serbs]] and [[Croats]]. The name is derived from the South Slavic word ''[[wikt:zlato|zlato]]'' - from the [[Old Church Slavonic|Old Slavic]] root ''zolto'' (gold).
