Elkee is Dutch in Origin.

Elkee is a modern English respelling of Elke/Elkie, a name rooted in Low German and Dutch forms of Adalheidis (Adelheid). Adalheidis combines the Germanic elements adal “noble” and heid “kind, sort,” yielding the sense “of noble lineage” or “noble type.” Through medieval shortening (Adelais → Aalis), the same root also produced Alice, while Heidi is a familiar diminutive of Adelheid; Elkee sits in this family of brisk, vintage nicknames with aristocratic meaning.

As a given name, Elke rose to prominence in German‑speaking and Dutch contexts in the 20th century and appears in Ashkenazi records as Elke/Elka, sometimes overlapping with Slavic Elka, a pet form of Elena or Elisaveta. Variants include Elke, Elkie, Elka, Elky, and the related forms Adelaide, Alice, and Heidi. Elkee remains rare in the English‑speaking world, offering a distinctive twist on a classic “noble” heritage.
