Eike is Frisian in Origin.
Eike is a Germanic given name rooted in Low German and Frisian traditions. Etymologically it shortens compound names built on the element ekk/egg- “edge, point (of a sword),” cognate with Old High German ekka and Old Norse egg. In northern dialects it also overlaps with eik/eiche “oak,” so the name can connote both blade’s edge and sturdy oak. The best-known bearer is Eike von Repgow (c. 1180–c. 1235), author of the Sachsenspiegel, anchoring the name in medieval German usage.
Used today in Germany and the Low Countries as a unisex name - more often male in the north - it appears as Eike, Eyke, and Eik; Frisian Eiko and the short form Ike are common variants. Related compounds include Eckhard/Eckhart and Eckbert. Meanings offered in modern name books range from “sword’s edge” to the nature-leaning “oak; steadfastness.”
