Marikke is Dutch, Scandinavian in Origin.
Marikke is a Scandinavian-Dutch feminine name, a variant of Marike/Marieke built on Maria with the diminutive suffix -ke common in Dutch and Low German. It stands alongside German Mareike and Dutch Marijke, and is near the Scandinavian forms Marika and Marikken. As a derivative of Maria (from Hebrew Miryam), its meaning is interpreted variously: "beloved," "wished-for child," "rebellious," or, by medieval Latin folk etymology, "star of the sea."
The form appears in Dutch and Frisian records and gained occasional use in Norway and Denmark through North Sea contact and later via modern name fashion; it remains rare but recognisable in those regions today. Variant spellings include Marike and Maríke; cognates include Marieke, Mareike, Marijke, Marika, and Marikken. Possible short forms are Mari, Rikke, and Rika, lending the name both a traditional Marian lineage and a crisp contemporary sound.
Nothing for Marikke shows up in the birth registries or name datasets we track. It's the kind of name that tends to be rare, regional, or newly made up. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
