Pronounced VAH-shek, this name combines brevity with a distinctive Slavic character. While common in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Vasek remains relatively rare in English-speaking countries, giving it an exotic quality abroad.

As a diminutive form, Vasek carries warmth and familiarity while maintaining its cultural roots.
