Fyske is English, Scandinavian in Origin.

Fyske is a rare modern variant of Fiske, a surname-derived given name rooted in Old Norse fiskr and Old English fisc, “fish.” As a byname it denoted a fisherman or someone living by a river or coast. The spelling with y nods to Frisian and Scandinavian orthography, though the form is chiefly English-language. Close relatives include Fiske and Fisk in English/Scandinavian use and Yiddish Fishke, a familiar diminutive; related surnames include Fisker (Danish/Norwegian “fisherman”).

Used intermittently as a given name since the 19th century, especially in New England families converting the surname Fiske into a first or middle name, it remains extremely uncommon and reads as gender-neutral today. The Yiddish nickname Fishke is known from Mendele Moykher-Sforim’s novella Fishke der Krumer, underscoring the name’s folkloric, waterside associations. Fyske suits parents seeking a brisk, nature-tinted choice with Northern European roots.
