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!.

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"Www@QuestionHome@Com
