First, what does Zdeno mean, where does it come from? It's a Slovak male name and they don't have it in the database.
Second, about name days in Slavic countries, when there's more than one name day for the same name, do they pick one or do they celebrate both?
Third, does Zdeno have a name day?
TIA!

I believe that Zdeno is a form of the name Zdenko (female Zdenka), which is in the database.
As for name days, you choose the one closest to your birthday. Only if it's a big saint like ST. Katarina, you usually celebrate it on the saint's name day and not on other days when some other Katarina might be commemorated.
In Croatia, 23rd June is the name day for Zdenko, Zdenka, Sida, Sidonije, Sidonius, Sidonia, Agripina & Josip Cafasso. Not sure about other Slavic countries ( BtN has February 9th as the name day for Zdenko).
ETA: Apparently Zdeno can also be a form of the name Zdeslav, Zdislav.
