Anneke is in Origin.
Anneke is a Dutch and Frisian diminutive of Anne/Anna, built with the affectionate -ke suffix common in the Low Countries and Low German dialects. Ultimately it goes back to Hebrew Hannah, "grace" or "favor," so Anneke carries the same meaning with a warm, familiar tone. The name is also used in Flemish and Afrikaans, where the -ke ending remains a popular stylistic marker.
Records show Anneke in 16th-17th century baptismal registers across the Netherlands and northern Germany, and it has persisted as a stand-alone given name into modern times. Usage peaked in parts of the Netherlands and saw notable mid-20th-century popularity in South Africa. Variant and related forms include Anke, Annika/Anika, Anneken/Annecke, and the Dutch Annetje, alongside the base names Anna and Anne. Common short forms are Anne and Annie, while spelling stays largely stable as Anneke.
