Amieke is Dutch in Origin.

Amieke is a rare feminine given name from the Low Countries, formed with the Dutch/Flemish diminutive suffix -ke. It most often functions as a pet form of Amalia/Amelia or Amélie, ultimately tracing to the Germanic root amal, meaning “work, vigor, industriousness.” The sound may also echo French amie (“friend”), which gives the name a secondary folk sense of warmth and companionship, though this is not its etymological source.

In use, Amieke appears in Belgian and Dutch records chiefly as a familiar or household name in the 19th–20th centuries, later standing on its own as an official given name, especially in Flanders and occasionally in Frisian-speaking areas. It remains uncommon but recognizable within the Dutch-language sphere and diaspora. Related forms and near-variants include Amke, Ameke, and Ameike; broader cognates are Amalia, Amelia, and Amélie. The name conveys an affectionate “little Amalia/Amelia” with the virtue meaning “industrious.”
