Imi-Ike is Igbo in Origin.
Imi-Ike is a modern double name blending the Hungarian nickname Imi (a familiar form of Imre/Emeric, ultimately linked to Germanic Emmerich with the element -ric meaning “ruler, power”) with Ike, read either as the Igbo word/name for “strength, power” or the English nickname for Isaac (from Hebrew Yitzhak, “he will laugh”). As a compound, it evokes ideas of strong leadership, power with joy, or “strength of the ruler,” depending on the chosen lineage.
Hyphenated given names of this type have grown with cross-cultural naming in the late 20th-21st centuries; Imi-Ike remains rare but intuitive across languages. Variants include Imi Ike (without hyphen), Imiike, Ike-Imi, and the components used alone (Imi, Ike). Related forms are Imre/Emeric, Emmerich, and Isaac, as well as Igbo elaborations like Ikechukwu and Ikenna. Usually masculine by tradition, the name functions comfortably as unisex in contemporary practice.
