My brother was stationed in Germany for several years and married a German girl so I emailed him and asked if he knew what Onco meant.


His reply.....

"dunno what Onco could mean. It could have been an abbreviation of something else possibly. Which would be near impossible to find.
My German shepard, when i was working K-9 in Germany, was named Nikko. Nikko is a famous place in Japan where a Emperor's monument is.
Most likely it only means something to whoever named him."

I did a quick google search ..... got alot of Onco's.......
Onco Sportfishing, Onco Stock Quote, Onco-Mouse and Onco Chat to name a few and tons of medical sites......

Two stand out as good possiblities for where he got his name though......

1 - Onco, Brazil
Google 'map' search for Onco turned that up.

And then this site....
