Jannike is Scandinavian in Origin.
Jannike is a Scandinavian feminine given name ultimately rooted in the Hebrew Yochanan, “God is gracious,” filtered into the North through the Latin/Greek form Johannes. The ending -ike/-ika is a diminutive suffix common in Low German and Dutch, adopted in Nordic naming via centuries of Hanseatic contact. The result is a friendly pet-form of the Johanna/Jan family that preserves the traditional meaning while sounding distinctly Northern European.
The name appears in Norwegian and Swedish records by the 19th century and rose in Norway in the late 20th century, with a notable peak in the 1980s. Spelling variants include Jannicke (frequent in Norway), Janike, Janicke, and Jannika/Janika (also seen in Sweden, Finland, and Estonia). Related forms are Janneke (Dutch), Johanna, Jana, and the masculine Jan/Johan. Common nicknames are Janni and Nika.
