Vukašin (Cyrillic script: Вукашин) is an old Slavic name of Serbian origin. It is composed from two words: Vuk (wolf) and sin (son), so it means sin vuka (son of wolf). In some places in Croatia and Bosnia it can be found as a surname.
The name Vukašin can be found in Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Republika Srpska and Croatia (used by Serbs of Croatia). During sound change phoneme S became š.
