Fieke is a Dutch and Flemish feminine name, an affectionate diminutive in -ke built from Fie, the familiar short form of Sofie or Sophie. Through this chain it ultimately goes back to Greek Sophia, carrying the meaning "wisdom." In many families it also arises by clipping Sofieke, a Low Countries pet form, down to Fieke.

Long used informally in the Netherlands and Flanders, Fieke began appearing as an independent given name in the late 20th century, aligning with the regional taste for concise, bright names. Close variants and related forms include Fie, Sofieke, Sofie, Sophie, Sophia, and Sofia; cognates abroad are Zofia (Polish) and Sofía or Sofia in Romance and Scandinavian languages. Do not confuse it with Feike, a distinct Frisian and Dutch masculine name. Whether as nickname or stand-alone, Fieke consistently conveys the sense of wisdom.
