Polonius3 993 | 12,357 3 Sep 2009 / #2This is a name of east Slavonic origin, as indicatied both by the -ko ending and theżel-/жел- root which had to do with desire or wish. There was once a first name Żelisław, of which Żeletko could have been a pet form. Only 13 people in Poland sign themsevles Żeletko at present.

caprice49 4 | 224 3 Sep 2009 / #4well u r wrong,That doesn't sound very nice, I can only assume there is a language barrier. If you think he may have joined the army it is possible to trace through army records.
