Minne is Dutch, English in Origin.
Minne is a unisex given name of West Germanic origin, anchored in Dutch and Frisian. It comes from Middle Dutch and Old High German minne, meaning “love, affectionate regard,” a term famous in the medieval tradition of Minnesang (courtly love). Because of this etymology, Minne is commonly interpreted as “love” or “beloved.”
In the Low Countries the name appears in records from the Middle Ages and has long been used in Friesland as a masculine given name; in Dutch it also functions as a pet form for feminine names ending in -mina, especially Wilhelmina and Hermina. Modern relatives and diminutives include Minna (Finnish/Scandinavian/German feminine), Mina, Minnie (English), Mien and Minke (Dutch/Frisian), Minneke (Flemish), and the Frisian masculine Minno. Though not widespread, Minne carries a warm, timeless meaning and a distinctly Low Countries heritage.
