Oke is Dutch, Yoruba in Origin.
Oke is a short Germanic given name found in Frisian and Low German, related to Okke/Okko and ultimately to Otto from the element od/ot “wealth, fortune.” Medieval records from the North Sea coastlands show it borne by men, with spellings Oke, Ocke, and Okke. Today it survives mostly in Frisian circles and as a regional historical name. Variants and diminutives include Okke, Okko, Ocke, and Oeke.
Across West Africa, Oke has independent roots. In Yoruba, Òkè means “hill; highland” and names a deity associated with mountains; it appears both alone and in compounds. In Igbo it often functions as a clipped form of Oke‑ names such as Okechukwu (“God’s portion”), so the meaning follows the longer form. As a given name, Oke is traditionally masculine in Germanic contexts but unisex in Nigeria and the diaspora.
